What were the positive and negative things from the Minnesota Vikings Week 4 NFL game against the Detroit Lions? Here are our Ups and Downs!

The Minnesota Vikings will be taking on all three of their opponents in the NFC North over the next three weeks and that stretch started out by hosting the Detroit Lions at U.S. Bank Stadium on October 1, 2017.

Of course, division games are even more important when trying to determine a playoff picture and assert dominance over the competition. Recently, the Lions have done a great job against Minnesota, but the Vikings hoped to reverse that trend in Week 4.

The Minnesota Vikings lost by a final score of 7-14. This loss drops the Vikings to 2-2 on the season and drops them back in the race for the top spot in the NFC North.

But what were the good, bad, and interesting things from the game? Let’s talk about everything that happened beginning with the stuff that made us smile in Week 4 vs the Lions.
