Fresh off a bye week that came at a great time for the Detroit Lions, Dan Campbell's gritty bunch hosts the Minnesota Vikings in a 1 p.m. kickoff. The 5-2 Lions are looking to keep the recent dominance over Minnesota rolling in the first meeting of the NFC North foes in 2025.

The Vikings' massive upset win over the Lions on Sunday has revived their playoff hopes and given fans a reason to dream about what the rest of this season might hold with J.J. McCarthy at quarterback. The win got the Vikings back to .500 at 4-4, kept them perfect within their division, and breathed life into their season in more ways than one.

The Minnesota Vikings were all-in on developing quarterback J.J. McCarthy this season, after his rookie year was lost to injury, with the belief they could insulate him from some of the natural struggles of inexperience by surrounding him with a stacked veteran team and a savvy coaching staff.

Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and head coach Kevin O'Connell made the choice to rely on veteran free agents instead of young drafted players, and now the Vikings are paying the price with a 3-4 record.

The former first-round pick is expected to start in Week 9 against the Lions, and Minnesota needs him to play like he did at Michigan.

Carson Wentz has been placed on injured reserve and will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, according to CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones. Wentz made five starts this season for the Vikings in relief of starting quarterback J.

A unique blend of pressures ended Carson Wentz's season in a tear-soaked display of pain. It's hard to feel good about what we saw, from anyone.
