The Detroit Lions come into Minnesota this week hungry. That’s not a good vibe if you’re a Vikings fan, as second-year head coach Dan Campbell is changing the culture of the Motor City.
It’s the best thing that has happened to the Lions since Barry Sanders. With the additional confidence of Campbell, Jared Goff is feeling more confident in himself with why he was selected by the Rams with the #1 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.
These Lions have officially evolved into the Mufasas.
Every time you hear the name Mufasa it instantly scares the ever living daylights out of you, just ask the Hyenas from the Lion King.
These aren’t your young Simbas anymore.
DE Aidan Hutchinson is everything the Lions have hoped that he would be through the first two games. All the pressures and sacks that he has gotten so far, has revamped that pass rush that has been struggling since the Nebraska boys of Ndamukung Suh and Kyle Vanden Bosch.
OT Christian Darrisaw is going to have his hands full going up against him coming up on Sunday.
Aman Ra St Brown is quietly becoming one of the better WRs in the National Football League.
If he continues at this pace, Lions fans may soon be saying Calvin who? With no Harrison Smith on defense on Sunday, I fully expect St Brown to go off. I can see quite a bit of Cover 2 on St Brown to attempt to contain him on Sunday.
RB Dalvin Cook is the key on offense for the Vikings.
Cook has always had fantastic games against the Lions, including over 200 yards in rushing offense in a game.
For the Vikings to escape the Lions of the Pridelands, they have to control time of possession, otherwise it’s going to be a long day.
