The Detroit Lions should win the NFC North, but they haven’t clinched the division just yet. The Minnesota Vikings are the only team standing in Detroit’s way, and that threat could end Sunday.
The Lions and Vikings go head-to-head in a matchup that could determine the division. If the Lions win or tie vs. the Vikings, Detroit will be the NFC North champion.
But don’t count out the Vikings just yet. Despite losing quarterback Kirk Cousins, Minnesota has still managed to stay in the race. Joshua Dobbs and Nick Mullens have pushed the team to 7-7. Even if the Vikings don’t win the NFC North, they could squeak into the playoffs, but only if Dobbs or Mullens gives them solid production down the stretch.
