Two NFC North squads face off in Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season when the Minnesota Vikings visit the Detroit Lions. They were two of the top teams in the NFL a year ago, and the Lions appear to be headed back to the playoffs this season while the Vikings are struggling under first-year starter J.J. McCarthy. McCarthy is returning from an injury this week and will try to right the ship, while Detroit enters this week after a bye in Week 8.

There's no reason to think Dan Campbell will let up even if this does get out of hand, especially after a bye week. The Vikings do have an excellent defense, but the aggressive tactics Brian Flores deploys have been used against the unit much more effectively this season. If McCarthy can't get this offense into gear, it could be a long day in Detroit for the Vikings.
