The Detroit Lions jump into Week 9 by welcoming the NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings to Ford Field. It's the first game for the Lions after a bye, while the Vikings have dropped two in a row since their bye in Week 6.

The Lions thought the bye week, and the 15-point victory over an NFC contender that preceded it, would be a jumping-off point. It was not.

The Lions also struggled in the running game. The Vikings give quarterbacks fits with their varied blitz packages, but teams have been able to run against them. David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs, though, managed 65 yards on 20 carries with a long of 11 yards.

The Detroit Lions are approaching the midway mark of their season after experiencing a series of highs and lows, leading to more losses than they had last season.

The Detroit Lions are a team looking to rebound quickly after losing a disappointing contest to the Minnesota Vikings. Dan Campbell, speaking to reporters on Monday afternoon, following the team's 27-24 loss, expressed the sky is not falling and the roster will do whatever it takes to weather the current storm.

Detroit’s five-game winning streak against the Vikings was snapped in the process. The Lions entered as heavy favorites, but a sleepy, sloppy showing doomed them for most of the day.
