The Vikings defense has given up the least yards and points per game and are second in passing yards allowed per game given up. The Vikings offense has is 29th in passing yards per game, 12th in rushing yards per game, and 24th in points per game. The Lions defense is last in passing yards allowed per game, 12th in rushing yards allowed per game, and 26th in points allowed per game. Something has to give right? Will the Lions continue to pass the ball very well? Will the Vikings pass the ball better? I expect more passing this game from
