Three weeks after the Lions stunned them in an overtime win at U.S. Bank Stadium, the Vikings will spend Turkey Day in the Motor City in a game that ultimately could decide who wins the NFC North. The Lions, the home team on a short week, have the edge. Prediction: Lions 22, Vikings 19.
THREE BIG STORYLINES
LONG INJURY REPORT
The Vikings really could use three more days of rest and recovery. Terence Newman is doubtful to play, and fellow cornerback Captain Munnerlyn and receiver Stefon Diggs are among those questionable to play.
LINEBACKER IN LIMBO
Veteran OLB Chad Greenway and his wife are expecting their fourth child any minute now, and Greenway says if his wife goes into labor before the game he plans to be with her at the hospital.
7 OUT OF 10 AIN'T BAD
Pat Shurmur made his debut as interim coordinator against the Lions three weeks ago. It has helped out QB Sam Bradford, who completed at least 70 percent of his passes in all three of those games.
