#5. Minnesota Vikings (6-4) @ Detroit Lions (6-4)

If the Lions are losing, they use Riddick in the passing game, and use him often. Elliott, the No. 4 overall pick in April’s draft, leads the National Football League with 1,102 rushing yards and has 10 total touchdowns.

There aren’t any pass catchers to own for the Lions. The teams haven’t experienced much success in recent years, but both find themselves in the thick of the playoff hunt in 2016.

“We spent the whole game playing from behind the chains”, Randolph said.

The Vikings will take over at their 12-yard line following a 30-yard punt by Sam Martin with 11:54 left in the second.

Dean Blandino, the senior vice president for officiating, wasted little time in trying to answer the question of why there was no review after the Detroit Lions’ game-changing interception on Thursday. Stefon Diggs began a historic two-game stretch that day, Pat Shurmur’s first as interim play caller, with his first of consecutive 13-catch outings. Vikings fans everywhere experienced déjà vu as the Lions marched down the field, just like they did two weeks ago, to tie the game up with a field goal.

“I wish I could have seen him fall off the outside route and come back in”, Bradford said.

Slay returned the interception 13 yards with 30 seconds left to set up Matt Prater’s 40-yard field goal as time expired, lifting the Lions to a 16-13 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Matthew Stafford and the Lions have been flying by the seat of their trousers in the 2016 season. Then they began to have a downhill spiral as they would go to lose their next four out of five games. In only the third game of his career, Diggs caught six passes for 108 yards and a touchdown in Detroit last season.

“We’re going to have to dial in”, Tate said of the rematch.

Rudolph led the Vikings with nine catches for 64 yards and Thielen had eight for 53.

Stafford hit Marvin Jones on back-to-back completions of 20 and seven yards, respectively, to move into red zone at the Vikings’ 17-yard line.

Prater’s 29-yard field goal, set up by Golden Tate’s 41-yard reception, gave Detroit a 10-7, second-quarter edge.

The Lions primary pass-catching running back has stepped up his play following the team’s loss of Ameer Abdullah, and leads the team in rushing yards (310) and is fourth on the team receiving yards (343).

The Vikings appeared to pick up one first down, but Cordarrelle Patterson was called for illegal formation, negating that and putting the Vikings in third-and-7. The Green Bay Packers head to Philadelphia to end the week as they and the Eagles struggle to remain relevant in the NFC. LB DeAndre Levy (knee) and S Don Carey (hamstring) were among the Lions’ inactive players. However, their division rivals are just as hungry for a Thanksgiving day win and won’t likely go down without a fight.

Lions: Detroit gets an extended break before playing December 4 at New Orleans.
