Case Keenum, QB

For the past two weeks, the Vikings have had two different versions of Keenum out on the field.

During a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2, the quarterback was frantic, played scared, and could not figure out how to move the ball downfield to save his life (just 4.5 yards per pass attempt). Only a week later in a win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Keenum exploded, throwing for 369 yards and three touchdowns while helping Minnesota’s offense finish the game with 494 total yards.

An educated guess would lead one to believe that Keenum should be able to have performance against Detroit somewhere in between the levels he has played at in the last two weeks. But the Vikings certainly would not mind him resembling something closer to how he played against the Buccaneers either.
