Minnesota Vikings vs. Detroit Lions Preview

This Sunday at Mall of America Field, the Minnesota Vikings will square off against the inner-division foe Detroit Lions. Usually the Detroit Lions are a woeful bunch, having won 3 games total the last 2 seasons. However, this team feels a little different after the first 2 games. They were defeated by the Chicago Bears 19-14 in Chicago thanks to a overturned touchdown call with 19 seconds left that would have won them the game. A week later they lost to Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles 35-32. Rookie running back Jahvid Best has had a tremendous start and Calvin Johnson is one of the most talented receivers in the league. The Minnesota Vikings will need to play solid for 4 quarters and earn the victory. Prediction: Minnesota 27, Detroit 17. Go Vikings!

Minnesota Vikings Lose 14-10 to Miami Dolphins

The Minnesota Vikings lost 14-10 to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday afternoon. It was a deflating loss for the Minnesota Vikings, as they did not lose a home game all of last season. Brett Favre threw 3 interceptions (1 of which was not his fault) and had a costly fumble in the endzone that Miami pounced on for a touchdown. Adrian Peterson ran 28 times for 145 yards and a touchdown. The game was ultimately decided by a 4th and goal that Miami stuffed with 3 minutes to play. The Vikings handed off to Adrian but he couldn't get in the endzone. Next up is the Detroit Lions.

Will Minnesota Vikings Trade for Vincent Jackson?

The Minnesota Vikings have been rumored to Vincent Jackson of the San Diego Chargers. He was suspended the first 6 games of the season but now if he was traded he would be eligible after week 4. Any team that makes a trade for him would almost have to surrender a 1st or 2nd round pick. Keep an eye if the Vikings make a move on the wide receiver in San Diego.
