Detroit Lions vs Minnesota Vikings Preview

There is only so much Minnesota’s defence can cover for and they might have hit their breaking point against the LA Chargers last week.

Having to try and shut down that highly productive offence while also knowing the very injured Carson Wentz on the other side of the ball couldn’t do anything saw them implode.

Now they welcome back Week 1 starter JJ McCarthy who hasn’t been healthy for long enough through his career to know if he’s any good or not.

Detroit has had a bye week to prepare for McCarthy and the Vikings, which is not good news for Minnesota.

Especially when the Lions offence has also had a week to freshen up and prepare for this must-win game if they want to win the NFC North and push for home field advantage again.

Amon-Ra St Brown leads the Lions with seven touchdowns this season on 50 catches and he is primed for a big day against a Vikings secondary that has given up six passing touchdowns in their last two games.
