Game Preview: Vikings at Lions

For the seventh time in team history, the Minnesota Vikings (6-4) will play on Thanksgiving when they travel to play the Detroit Lions (6-4) in Week 12 at Ford Field. Minnesota is searching for its first division win since Week 2 when it defeated the Green Bay Packers 17-14. The Vikings are coming off a 30-24 win vs. Arizona while the Lions are coming off 26-19 win at home over Jacksonville. Minnesota is powered by the NFL's second-ranked defense in points allowed, giving up 17.6 points per game, and an offensive unit that has committed a turnover in only three of the 10 games this season, helping the team tie for first in the NFL with a plus-13 turnover margin.
