The Minnesota Vikings may not have to face off against one of the toughest and most talented quarterbacks in the NFL anymore if the reports surrounding Detroit Lions superstar Matthew Stafford are true.

Since 2009, the Vikings have faced off against Stafford 21 times, including the final game of the 2020 NFL season that saw the Lions quarterback showcase his toughness and throw three touchdowns against the purple and gold.
