Ford Field will be buzzing today. The Detroit Lions (5-2) return from their bye with fresh legs and a big headline: Aidan Hutchinson’s record extension got done this week. The Minnesota Vikings (3-4) arrive looking to steady the offense and keep pace in a tight NFC North. The mission is simple. Minnesota wants to spoil Detroit’s home-field advantage. Detroit wants to keep the momentum and remind everyone whose house it is. Detroit has looked like a contender, while Minnesota’s QB plan has been week-to-week. That contrast sets up a clean viewing window and a high-leverage division game. If you’ve cut the cord like most of the modern world, you can still watch Vikings vs. Lions live without cable (and free!) by starting a DIRECTV trial. The game airs on FOX at 1 p.m. ET, so you’ll have time to sign up, stream and decide later. FOX is listed for today’s broadcast, with kickoff at 1 p.m. ET from Ford Field. DIRECTV’s 5-day free trial includes local channels in most markets, so you can stream Vikings vs. Lions free today. Availability varies by where you watch. Detroit’s defense just got its star secured for the long haul, and the staff says getting Jameson Williams more touches is a priority. Minnesota, meanwhile, keeps adjusting after the J.J. McCarthy injury stretch and depth moves. Vikings vs. Lions start time: The Vikings vs. the Lions are scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. ET today, Nov. 2, on FOX.
