Comeback Kirk: While you were getting your holiday shopping done last weekend, Kirk Cousins led the Vikings to the biggest comeback in NFL history after trailing Indianapolis 33-0 at halftime. There’s still a heaping dose of skepticism about how good Minnesota actually is, but nobody up north is complaining about having 11 wins. An interesting couple of weeks ahead against the Giants and Packers, but we might not learn a ton more about Minnesota until the playoffs begin.
Streaking Lions: In Detroit, meanwhile, hopes are running high. After starting the season 1-6, Dan Campbell’s team is 6-1 and has Carolina and Chicago up next before closing the season against Green Bay.
