”Sunday Night Football” is always a little sweeter after a Detroit Lions victory—particularly a blowout like that one. And this week’s primetime game has some intrigue to it. The Minnesota Vikings, fresh off a not-as-convincing win over the Chicago Bears, are hosting the Atlanta Falcons in an NFC showdown. The Falcons are a disappointing 0-1 after Younghoe Koo missed a 44-yard, game-tying field goal with seconds left. Atlanta has promptly demoted Koo to backup kicker and former Lions kicker Parker Romo will get the start on Sunday night.
With the win on Sunday, the Lions moved to third place in the division, trailing the impressive 2-0 Packers, the 1-0 Vikings, and ahead of the 0-2 Bears. Detroit could move to a share of second place if Minnesota loses, or stick at third place if the Vikings manage to defeat the Falcons.
The Vikings are just 3.5-point home favorites, so we could be in for a good nightcap. Join our live chat for “Sunday Night Football” by scrolling down to the comment section and sharing your thoughts of the game.
