Holding opponents to a meager 12.3 points per game, the Vikings' defense is the best in the NFL and the main reason they remain undefeated with a 6-0 record this season. Now they'll be in Detroit for a highly anticipated game against the Lions.
It was a 16-10 victory against the Colts that gave the Vikings their sixth win of the season; winning field position, not turning the ball over, and an impenetrable defense have been the hallmarks of this undefeated Mimnesso team. Cashman is coming off a game in which he made 12 tackles, two sacks, four passes, and three hits on opposing quarterbacks.
It will be intriguing to see what happens when they face the Lions, a team that ranks second in points per game this NFL season with 30.7. Furthermore, their quarterback has had an incredibly accurate start to the season with 14 touchdown passes and no interceptions. The Lions defeated the Packers 20-17 in their last game, capped by a 22-yard last-play field goal from Bates.
