While the Lions won the NFL's best division since the merger, the Vikings' road got a whole lot tougher. Should the NFL change its rules?

The Detroit Lions are once again the kings of the NFC North Division, clinching their second consecutive division title with Sunday night’s 31-9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings inside what was truly an electric atmosphere inside Ford Field.

After the Detroit Lions handily beat the Minnesota Vikings in Week 18, Lions head coach Dan Campbell had a message for Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell after the two met on the field for their postgame handshake.

The Minnesota Vikings will have a lot of time to think when they fly to Los Angeles later this week. They can try to figure out how they let Sunday night’s game against the Detroit Lions slip away, along with their chances at the NFC North title and the top seed in the NFC playoffs.

Afterward, fans could hardly believe their ears as Lions coach Dan Campbell made a prediction in his postgame embrace with Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell centering around the next few weeks of the NFL Playoffs. "I'll see you in two weeks," Campbell could be heard saying to O'Connell after Detroit's division-clinching home victory.

The 14-2 Minnesota Vikings and 14-2 Detroit Lions are on a collision course for one of the most important matchups of the 2024-25 NFL regular season. The winner of this season-finale clash will claim the No.

The momentum for Kevin O’Connell to win the 2024 Coach Of the Year award continues. On NFL Gameday Morning, Steve Mariucci played the role of O’Connell in accepting the award during a hypothetical ceremony.

Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles has dumped fuel on rumors that his team could trade for its next head coach in 2025.

The Minnesota Vikings fell flat on their faces during their biggest game of the season on Sunday night in Detroit. Kevin O’Connell’s squad fell 31-9 to the Detroit Lions, surrendering the NFC’s No. 1 seed and setting up a Wild Card Weekend matchup with the Los Angeles Rams at Sofi Stadium.

Campbell revealed to O'Connell that he expects the Lions and Vikings to meet again in the divisional round. "Good job, great season. I'll see you in two weeks," Campbell told the Coach of the Year contender in a brief interaction after the final whistle sounded on Sunday night.
