Who stood out the most on offense and defense from the Minnesota Vikings game on Oct. 20 against the Detroit Lions on Oct. 20 to be named the MVPs?

It’s a good time to be a Minnesota Vikings fan again. The team is on a three-game winning streak after defeating the Detroit Lions by a final score of 42-30 in Week 7, which was also their first division win of the season.

Minnesota has moved to 5-2 on the season but still sits behind the Green Bay Packers in the NFC North, who look like the team to beat with a 6-2 record and a head-to-head victory over the Vikings.

There were some really great performances from Week 7 that deserve recognition on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball from this game and well as two players who stood out the most.

Let’s discuss the MVPs on both sides of the ball from the game on Oct. 20 starting with those who had good games on offense but didn’t quite earn MVP honors this week!
