Entering Week 16 of the 2018 NFL season, the Minnesota Vikings controlled their own destiny when it came to getting a playoff spot. With the Bears winning the NFC North, the purple and gold could get a Wild Card berth with two wins in the final two weeks.
However, the Lions are looking to play spoiler to the Vikings. After being rocked by a ten-sack game in Week 9 in which they failed to score a touchdown, Detroit would have loved to be the reason Minnesota misses the postseason this year.
The Vikings were able to get a big win on the road against their division opponent.
