The Vikings took down the Lions, 30-23, in Detroit during Week 12 last season, snapping the Lions' three-game winning streak in this division rivalry. Detroit is undefeated, 2-0, at U.S. Bank Stadium.

The Lions dropped below .500 following their 28-14 loss to the Seahawks in Detroit last week. After previously rushing for 248 yards, the Lions could only muster 34 yards on the ground, their biggest week-to-week drop off in rush yards since Week 11 (260 rush yards) and Week 12 (27) or 1972.

The Vikings lost to the Saints, 30-20, in Minneapolis last week, halting their three-game winning streak. Minnesota has allowed 100 or more rushing yards in each of their three losses this season and fewer than 100 yards in their four wins and one tie.

The Lions traded Golden Tate to the Eagles this week, who accounted for more than a quarter (517/1926) of Detroit's receiving yards this season. His departure leaves Detroit with just three players with a receiving touchdown this season, tied with Buffalo for the fewest in the league.

Adam Thielen caught all seven of his targets in Week 8 for 103 yards and a touchdown, his eighth straight game with 100 receiving yards and his fifth straight game with a touchdown. Thielen tied Calvin Johnson's NFL record of eight straight games with 100-plus receiving yards.

The Vikings have only mustered 87.1 yards per game on the ground this season, the fourth-lowest average in the NFL. On the other side of the ball, the Lions have allowed 144.6 rushing yards per game, the second most in the league.

Adam Thielen might as well extend this streak to 9 games. I don't see that Lions secondary stopping him.
