One significant note for the Vikings' defense is that both our top linebackers, Cashman and Pace, are back in action for this game. The two games the Vikes lost had Cashman on the sidelines with an injury, and you could tell. The defense completely runs through that guy and he could be a factor in slowing down this prolific Lions' offense.
I'm a LIONS fan and I think the Vikings are being disrespected! 'Which is the best team in the NFC? Lions or Eagles?" and the Vikings fans are like, 'remember us?...'
Thanks for this, we are used to it. Can't wait for our match, this is for us, and I am forgetting the doubters, and going to enjoy our NFC North match-up, cheers to you!
Both teams do have a lot of motivation to win this. Vikings to finally get the respect they've been looking for and to be number 1 in the division again as well as number 1 overall, and the Lions so we can claim it all and have the bye week to recover more injuries. Both teams NEED this victory, and we'll see on Sunday night just who has more determination and more fighting ability to get it.
Jefferson not only didn't have an issue with the Vikings drafting Addison, he's very happy about it. You can always hear him shouting "best duo in the league!" during games.
This is terrible for both teams. They deserve to be either the #1 or #2 seed. How lame is it to be a 14-3 team and have to be the road warrior to some lesser team.
The stakes and repercussions for losing in this game is why I love football. And tbh, I would not be surprised to see these two teams play again in the NFC championship or divisional
and don't forget the home game brings in so much money! 50 to 60 million per game! Play off tickets will bring in 3x more. food, drinks, parking, merch sales advertising and promotions. every restaurant and local business will profit. Play off will clear payroll alone!
I think the lions defense played possum against the 49ers. Didn’t want to let the cat out of the bag for Vikings game. AG has something up his sleeve is my guess.
The Vikings give up the fourth least points and the Lions give up the ninth least points, while the Vikings score the ninth most points while the Lions are the number one scoring team in the league.
For the Lions, the week 9 win in 2022 vs GB was when the Lions turned things around and they've won 78.2% (36 - 10) of their games since then including playoffs. The win vs MIN in 2021's only significance was that it was Dan Campbells first win.
Funny addendum to the Flores/Ben Johnson history. When Johnson didn't get a job in Miami he was picked up by the Quinn/Patricia Lions regime. When Brad Holmes & Dan Campbell were coming in it could have been the same story as before for Ben Johnson with a new staff coming in with their own guys. But despite firing almost everyone else from the Patricia era Dan Campbell made it a point to keep Ben. Flores is a great coordinator but he failed a lot of head coach tests in Miami.
I'm not going to put anything past the Vikings. Y'all have a solid squad over there. I mean you do have a 14 and 2 record same as the Lions. And our defense is shredded. But that's the thing is so many teams have overlooked us by saying our defense has been porous and and horrible. But we still find ways to win. It's not about what happens in the game. All that matters is the w. So the end of the day made the best team win. But I'm hoping my lions smoke y'all. And for the love of God, no injuries to either team
I think justin jefferson is kind of a victim of his own success when asking why havent people brought him up as much this year. Its because everyone knows how good he is so talking about it feels like were just saying the same thing over and over. Same reason people try to tear down the chiefs even though they have the best record.
Both These teams are different from the first meeting its gonna be a totally different outcome Detroit is missing a buncha players and Minnesota has lost 2 and have 2 added
@JasonHickerson-w1i almost matter for future games, but not past ones. The fact that the games were close means it was one play away from the Vikings winning. Doesn’t matter for record, but it should make you more concerned about future games in case that one play were to happen. Should be a good game and I think Lions fans are lion if they say they aren’t at least a little bit worried :) Should be a good game!
@@thanatos1756 What will it mean if the Lions win another close game tomorrow? LMFAO!!!!!!...... The Lions have Flores figured out. It doesn't mean that they'll overcome their own defensive deficiencies tomorrow. However, it really helps.
If I have to hear one more talking head say that the number 1 offense in the league has to "try and keep up" with the other team, I'll lose my mind. No, teams know they have to try and outscore Detroit, because they aren't stopping them and that's why they start making mistakes, because all the pressure is on the other sides offense to be better than the best offense in the league. Understand this, simple concept. Those teams know that they can't play the field position game, or the field goal game against Detroit. It's a very simple observation to make.
you are so clueless. The only reason they are the #1 offense is because of them not resting starters ever and beating down on bad teams. It doesnt matter that you blowout other teams because then you dont know how to close those close games which is exactly why they lost to the bills. The vikings AND the lions are completely different teams from week 7 and regardless what happens the vikings and lions will face off for the nfc championship game which will most likely be a better game than the SB
Why doesn't the NFL seed teams for the playoffs regardless of division or conference, like the WNBA? It's a bad setup when a 14-3 team is in a wild-card game. In addition, seeding teams would increase the likelihood of a competitive Super Bowl rather than merely a perennial hype-fest.
The only reason Ja'mar Chase has bigger numbers than Jets this year is because the Bengals don't have any other weapons. Tee Higgins is not close to Addison.
The Lions are perfectly versed in letting receivers get a bunch of yds and still win the football game. Just ask Justin Jefferson how that's gone for him.
Oh, just pick the Lions, and be done with your conversation. Why do we have a chip on our shoulders? Wonder why.... Much love to the Lions, your season has been impressive, and as a Vikings fan. I am so excited for this match! Jamie, Minnesota loves yah, thanks for trying! ❤ Skol!
WAY too many commercials in this short clip. Ridiculous! I had to stop watching after the third set of LONG commercials that you can't skip. No video is worth that!
@coletrickle1775 True that my friend I'm not asking for more rules and regulations, but I AM asking the consumer to speak with their wallets. It's the ONLY thing that will teach corporations, and the government, who runs this show.
The Lions will put up their usual 30+ pts against a very good Vikings defense, but the Vikings very good offense is going to put up 40+ against a very ordinary Kitties D. Vikings will win by two scores.
What makes u think that? The Vikings have scored 40 on ONE occasion this entire season. Aside from that, the biggest score they've had all year is 34. The Lions have scored over 40 points numerous times. Not to mention, the Lions already beat them this year.
Holy lions glaze fest take 8 minute showing lions stuff then spend a minutes and a half on the Vikings. Gunna be fun watching the media say playoffs aren’t fair when baker destroys Detroit in 2 weeks.
Lions have won the last 4 out of 5 against Vikings. Sad that we need to have a defense full of practice squad players for Vikings to have a chance at beating Lions
How crazy would it be, if someone like the bucs or rams upsets their way to sb after all the hub bub about minnesota and detroit? As a viking fan of 4 decades, i wouldnt be even a little surprised
What the hell does Mante know, he was conned by a fake girlfriend years ago....he says Detroit won't let Jefferson beat them? JJ has torched the Lions in every game but one he's played he. them.....Vikes roll 38-27 SKOL!
Vikings fans here all pretending that Sam Darnold isn't a turnover machine. Darnold's going to throw two INTs and put the ball on the ground once. Lions will play their usual insanely efficient offense.
This dude doesn't think there's ever been a week 18 game with higher stakes. What, are we in the 3rd or 4th season with an 18 game schedule? So dramatic....
Peter is usually pretty sharp..... Not so much in this video. Maybe he should look at the numbers and stats more. The Vikings are a middle of the road D! Matter of fact, they are not a ton better than Detroit, that's cold hard facts! Also, if Detroit goes on the road WATCH OUT!! It would not shock me at all to see Detroit win 3 road games in a row and go to the Superbowl.

Lions are due to have one of their top linebackers back too
@@average-jack Vikings fan here, it’s gonna be a great game Sunday night. Hopefully Vikings win but it will be a battle.
Pace was playing in the first game, no idea why you mentioned him being "back for this game"
@@Imbx4406the both of them together is what makes the biggest difference. Pace did have a TD against them in week 7
Yup, Cashman is huge in the middle and all the setups run through him.
I'm willing to bet this game will be the most watched regular season game in NFL history. 🇺🇸

I despise the Vikings, but they have been an afterthought. A 14-2 team that has never been even considered the top team in the NFC is asinine

Let’s hope it’s not a Pyrrhic victory for either team, and the top 2 guys are injured, and the packers go further than them both
