The Detroit Lions secured the NFC North title with a dominant 31-9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. The win not only earns them back-to-back division championships but also grants them the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs for the first time in franchise history. Meanwhile, the Vikings will enter the playoffs as the No. 5 seed, facing the Los Angeles Rams in the wild card round.
The Detroit Lions are NFC North champions, as they dominated the Minnesota Vikings , 31-9, to win the division title in back-to-back seasons. Not only are they crowned division champions, but the Lions will also be the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs for the first time in franchise history. Meanwhile, the Vikings are the No. 5 seed as the best of the three wild card squads in the NFC. Instead of the bye week, they will be heading to Los Angeles to face the Rams next weekend.
Now, this game could’ve been much closer had Darnold, who has been one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks all season long, capitalized on his opportunities in the red zone. Early in the second quarter, Darnold had the Vikings first-and-goal on Detroit’s 5-yard line, but was unable to get into the end zone after a couple errant throws to Justin Jefferson, while also failing to see a wide open Jordan Addison in the flat as well.
