The Minnesota Vikings (8-4) and Detroit Lions (3-8-1) are set to face off on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium for their second meeting of the season. The Vikings are coming off a tough loss Monday night to the Seattle Seahawks, while the Lions have lost their past five games and were officially eliminated from playoff contention.
The Vikings won 42-30 at Ford Field in Week 7 to improve to 5-2, earning their third consecutive victory.
The last time these two teams faced in Minneapolis, the Vikings not only won 24-9, but also sacked Matthew Stafford 10 times, which was a franchise record for most sacks in a game.
