Detroit, the Vikings' next opponent, is the latest victim of scrutinized officiating that has the league in turmoil.
Geez. To hear coach Mike Zimmer and his players talk about the Lions, you’d think Detroit was in first place in the NFC North, not last place.
Of course, in defense of the Vikings’ gushing praise, only the finest of lines separates what could have been a 3-1-1 first-place Lions team and the actual 2-2-1 last-place Lions team the Vikings (4-2) will face at Ford Field on Sunday.
Yes, Detroit settled for five field goals in Monday’s 23-22 loss at Green Bay.
