MINNEAPOLIS –Final thoughts on Sunday’s Lions-Vikings game: role reversal for the Lions’ D from last week, a new challenge vs. the Vikings’ defense, kicker Matt Prater’s return, linebacker snap count and the rookie learning curve for former Spartan Trae Waynes.
Role reversal: The Lions want to do to Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater what the Chargers’ Philip Rivers did to their defense last week: make it an uncomfortable day for the opponent.
Rivers completed 21 of 23 passes in the second half in the Chargers’ 33-28 victory.
