The Minnesota Vikings swept the season series against the Detroit Lions on Christmas Day. The Vikings knocked their divisional rival out of playoff contention, but also clinched the playoffs for the Packers at the same time.

As I wrote in this week’s Lions-Vikings preview article, “each loss has felt heavier than the last, often coming in ways that raise new questions rather than offering answers.” Christmas was no exception. If anything, it marked a new rock bottom—introducing the one feeling Lions fans hadn’t fully experienced in a while: a jaded numbness. […]

The Minnesota Vikings’ passing game was not exactly a work of art in their 23-10 victory over the Detroit Lions on Christmas Day. Anyone who watched the game can assure you of that. The aenimic nature of the offense and the fact that the Vikings won anyway just shows that there are a lot of […]
