Game Preview
The Detroit Lions and the Minnesota Vikings meet in a week 3 NFC North matchup in NFL action from U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Vikings come in on a short week and take on a Lions team that’s hungry and is playing pretty well right now, giving us an interesting matchup to watch.
The Detroit Lions will be out to build on a 36-27 win over Washington in their last matchup. Jared Goff has thrown for 471 yards, 6 touchdowns and an interception on 57.7% passing while D’Andre Swift leads the Lions with 200 rushing yards and a touchdown. Amon-Ra St. Brown has a team-high 17 receptions for 180 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns to lead Detroit’s receiver group this season.
On defense, Tracy Walker III leads the Lions with 18 total tackles while Jeff Okudah has a team-high 12 solo tackles. Aidan Hutchinson has a team-high 3 sacks as well this season for Detroit. The Lions are looking fantastic on offense and I think they can ride that offense to meet the expectations at the very least.
The Minnesota Vikings will try to rebound after a 24-7 loss to Philadelphia on Monday night football in week 2. Kirk Cousins has thrown for 498 yards, 3 touchdowns and 3 interceptions on 64.1% passing while Dalvin Cook leads the Vikings in rushing with 107 rushing yards this season. Justin Jefferson leads the Vikings’ receiving group with 15 grabs for 232 yards and a pair of touchdowns this season.
When it comes to defense, Harrison Smith has a team-high 20 total tackles including 18 solo tackles while Danielle Hunter and D.J. Wonnum each have 2 sacks this season. We can give the Vikings some recognition, they’ve got some solid names on their roster. However, we saw a completely different Vikings team on Monday night than the one that whipped the Packers in the season opener.
