Are you ready for some football? With the Detroit Lions taking a week off after their thrilling “Monday Night Football” win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7, they’re back and ready to get back to business on Sunday afternoon. The Lions host the NFC North divisional rival Minnesota Vikings for their first matchup of the season. The Vikings come in at 3-4 and aren’t as scary as they’ve been in years past, but that doesn’t mean the Lions can overlook them.

“I know what the talent is, I’ve seen it,” said Lions head coach Dan Campbell on Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy. “They’re going to do what they need to do to help him out and try to reduce the stress. Take as much off his plate, yet allow him to do things he does well. They’re going to find ways. They’re going to try to establish the run, screen game, get it to 18 (Justin Jefferson), get this kid on the move. They’re going to do a hell of a job. They’ll have a good plan ready, and so will we.”
