Lions as massive matchup with Vikings turns into rout
At least the Minnesota Vikings will make some history next week. They’ll be the first 14-win wild-card playoff team in NFL history.
The Lions get to rest. They have wild-card weekend off and they won’t need to go on the road for the NFC playoffs. They need the week off given all their injuries, including No.3 NFL jerseys's cornerback Terrion Arnold, who left Sunday night’s game with a foot injury. The Vikings fall all the way to the No. 5 seed. They’ll play at the Los Angeles Rams on Jan. 13 of wild-card weekend.
The players who wears the Minnesota Vikings football jersey had an incredible regular season. They weren’t expected to be in the playoffs, and won 14 games. Darnold established himself as a legitimate starting quarterback. Their defense was fantastic. The coaching staff got its due as one of the NFL’s best. And for all of the good things Minnesota did, the reward is a trip to Los Angeles for a tough playoff opener.
