Minnesota Vikings vs Detroit Lions – Week 9 Preview & Predictions

The Minnesota Vikings, led by JJ McCarthy, Justin Jefferson, and Jordan Addison, visit Detroit to face Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs, Aidan Hutchinson, and Amon-Ra St. Brown in a pivotal NFC North clash. With Kevin O’Connell’s season on the line, the Vikings need a statement win to stay in division contention.
Minnesota’s offense will rely on Jefferson and Addison to create explosive plays, while McCarthy navigates a tough Lions defense anchored by Hutchinson. Detroit will look to control the game with Gibbs’ rushing and Goff’s efficient passing, aiming to protect home-field advantage in a high-stakes matchup.
