In the highly anticipated match-up between the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions Sunday night, the Vikings blinked. Minnesota lost 31-9 and now goes into the playoffs as the number five seed, out of seven. Detroit got the number one spot.
Now the Vikings are looking ahead to next week’s game against the Los Angeles Rams, the only other team besides Detroit that has beat them this season. It’s a tricky way to start the playoffs. Wally Langfellow and Eric Nelson joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about it.
Wally Langfellow is the founder of Minnesota Score Sports Magazine and co-host of the sports talk show 10-Thousand Takes. Eric Nelson is the other host of that show and Minnesota Vikings NFL reporter for CBS' Eye on Football and Sirius XM.
