NEXT OPPONENT:
DETROIT
The Lions will be riding a two-game losing streak when they host the Vikings. But Detroit has won its only home game, defeating St. Louis 27-23 in Week 1.
LIONS WEEK 3
Tennessee 44, Detroit 41 (OT)
The Lions tied the score on a 46-yard pass on the final play of regulation, then went for the overtime victory on fourth-and-1 at the Titans 7 rather than kick a field goal to extend the game.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR
Mikel Leshoure, running back
The 2011 second-round draft pick out of Illinois made his long-awaited NFL debut Sunday and responded with 26 carries for 100 yards and a TD and four receptions for 34 yards.
OUTLOOK
The Vikings are coming off a huge victory over the 49ers and can add legitimacy to their playoff hopes with a victory over an NFC North rival.
Outlook: Horns up

Twins
Twins almost fall victim to 3-20 Chicago until late rally saves them
One night after victimizing the White Sox for their most lopsided win of the season, the Twins earned their most dramatic victory with a pair of two-run rallies.
Wolves
Neal: Sweep? This Wolves-Suns series may not get to Game 5
The Timberwolves have proven that being dominated like they were by Phoenix during the regular season means nothing. But don't just assume a sweep, OK?
Vikings
Mark Craig's mock draft: QBs, trades and the Vikings take . . .
This mock draft has offensive players taken with the top seven picks. So if you like defense, you really don't need to show up for the start.
Wolves
Tenacious defense, McDaniels' anger spark Wolves to Game 2 win
Jaden McDaniels shoved Phoenix star Devin Booker during a second-quarter confrontation and then the Wolves pushed around the Suns for the rest of the night for a 105-93 win.
Wild
After Wild miss playoffs, who will stay and who will go?
Strapped by salary cap issues, the Wild might look pretty much the same next season before they get cap relief in 2025-26.
