The Detroit Lions made an emphatic statement as to who is the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
In a game between teams that each had 14-2 records coming into Sunday night, the Lions vanquished the Vikings 31-9 to capture the NFC North and a bye next week.
The Vikings have to go to Los Angeles to play the Rams, who won the NFC West with 10 victories. Yes, folks, the NFL revwards a team for winning its division, not having the best record when it comes to the wild-card round.
The 14-2 Vikings will be at the 10-7 Rams a week from Monday.
The Lions got four touchdowns from Jahmyr Gibbs and rattled Sam Darnold en route to the victory at Ford Field.
