Vikings and Lions Face Off for NFC North Title and Top Playoff Seed

Minnesota and Detroit prepare for a pivotal Sunday night showdown as injuries impact key players on both sides.

The Minnesota Vikings will play without edge rusher Patrick Jones II, who is sidelined with a knee injury sustained last week against Green Bay.
Rookie Dallas Turner is expected to take on a larger role in Jones' absence, having shown strong performances in recent games, including sacks and an interception.
Vikings running back Aaron Jones, recovering from a quad injury, has been cleared to play and is 29 yards away from setting a career-high in rushing yards.
The Detroit Lions have ruled out running back David Montgomery and cornerback Emmanuel Moseley, while linebacker Alex Anzalone and wide receiver Kalif Raymond are listed as questionable.
The game will determine the NFC North champion and the conference's No. 1 playoff seed, adding significant stakes to the regular-season finale.
