Top Vikings defender rips NFL for letting dirty Lions hit unpunished

J.J. McCarthy wasn't the only member of the Minnesota Vikings to triumphantly return to the field in the team's win over the Detroit Lions this past weekend. The Vikings also welcomed Pro Bowl pass rusher Andrew Van Ginkel back to the starting lineup in the matchup for the first time since the team's Week 3 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Van Ginkel's presence was felt throughout the matchup against the Lions, and he played a major role in Minnesota coming out of the game with a win.

Despite the Vikings getting the victory, the veteran defender is still bothered by something that Detroit did in the contest that went unnoticed by the game officials.
