The Minnesota Vikings delivered a lump of coal straight into the Detroit Lions’ stocking. And it was ugly. The offense struggled at times, but it didn’t matter because Brian Flores’ defense turned Jared Goff into Santa Claus, taking gifts from him over and over again. Six total turnovers, the most the Vikings have forced since Week 3 , completely flipped the game. Minnesota walks out with a dominant win and a reminder that this defense can take over any matchup when it’s locked in.
