What were the best things the Minnesota Vikings did on Sunday against the Detroit Lions? And what was the worst? Here is the game review from Week 7.

Entering Week 7, things were good for the Minnesota Vikings but they weren’t great. The team had a 4-2 record but still trailed the Green Bay Packers in their division. Speaking of the NFC North, the purple and gold were 0-2 in the division.

Thankfully, that changed when the Vikings traveled to Detroit. The Lions had a record of 2-2-1 and were hoping to stay in the playoff picture, but instead, they were handed a 42-30 loss at the hands of the Vikings.

Minnesota had some really good things happen for them in this game and there were definitely some things that made fans scratch their heads in confusion. However, in a winning effort, those negatives are much easier to forgive.

Let’s take a look at the best and worst things from Week 7 against the Detroit Lions as well as some other good and bad things. First, let’s keep things positive by discussion the absolute best stuff!
