The Detroit Lions need to get the bad taste out of their mouth after Monday’s unfortunate loss. Lucky for them, they get to turn the page quickly with a short week. Unlucky for them, they’re facing a surging Minnesota Vikings team that is arguably even better than the Green Bay Packers.
In fact, the Vikings have the highest DVOA of any team remaining on their schedule. They’re currently ranked fourth overall, and the balance on the team is incredible. All four phases of the team rank in the top 10, and even more amazing is their offense (fifth) is actually ranked higher than their infamous defense (sixth).
