DETROIT – The Detroit Lions are playing the Minnesota Vikings for the No. 1 seed in the NFC, but if they lose, they’ll drop to No. 5. That means they would have to go on the road next weekend for the wildcard round. Since the Los Angeles Rams are locked into the No. 4 seed, the Lions would head to SoFi Stadium for a rematch with Matthew Stafford.

The Minnesota Vikings need to reboot their passing attack for the playoffs. Sam Darnold struggled in the regular-season-ending 31-9 loss to the Detroit Lions that cemented the Vikings as a wild-card team and not a division winner.
