4. Minnesota Vikings
You can't knock the Minnesota Vikings too bad for losing just one game this season, but the offense continues to be an issue heading into their Monday night clash with the Buffalo Bills.
Kyler Murray is dealing with another injury, so Carson Wentz is going to get the ball against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills in what could be the biggest turning point of the season for Minnesota.
No pressure or anything, big guy.
The Vikings still have one of the best, most dominant, and most intimidating defenses in the league. They are the first team to get Jared Goff to actually throw an interception. Still, as we saw against Detroit, they need more from their offense, and they need it quickly.
3. Detroit Lions
Since coming out of the bye week, the Detroit Lions have been one of the most impressive all-around teams in the NFL.
No, seriously.
The return of Brian Branch paid immediate dividends as he picked off Jordan Love in a crucial NFC North matchup, getting the Lions back on track and in the thick of the race to the top of that division.
Unfortunately, the good news of the last three games has been diminished by the injury to one of this team's best players: Linebacker Jack Campbell. The latest on Campbell is that he's going to be okay, and he has movement in his lower body while "making progress" with movement in his upper body.
We continue to send prayers and well wishes to Campbell as he makes his way back.
For the Lions as a team, they travel to Miami this week to take on the scrappy Dolphins. It should be an "easy" one for Detroit, but that's never how it goes in the NFL.
