Vikings Host Lions Today At TCF Bank Stadium

The Minnesota Vikings (2-3) host the Detroit Lions (3-2) this afternoon at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis (Radio: AM 1240 WJON, TV: Fox.) The kickoff is set for Noon, as Teddy Bridgewater makes his return from an ankle injury after missing last week's game in Green Bay.

A Vikings win today would mark head coach Mike Zimmer's first NFC North victory, level the Vikings record at 3-3 on the season, including 1-1 in NFC North, and improve Teddy Bridgewater’s record as a starter to 2-0.

The Vikings and Lions have played 105 times overall with Minnesota holding a 69-34-2 series record, and the Vikings have beat the Lions in 15 out of the last 16 meetings in Minnesota.

Detroit wide receiver Calvin Johnson is listed as 'doubtful' for todays game, and running back Reggie Bush is listed as 'questionable,' both with ankle injuries.

For the Vikings, safety Harrison Smith is 'questionable.' Linebacker Chad Greenway is 'doubtful' for today with rib and hand injuries. Tight End Kyle Rudolph is out.

Skol Vikings!
