Matthew Coller and Paul Hodowanic talk about an historically bad day for the Minnesota Vikings' defense, which has been struggling for weeks. They gave up 34 points and over 400 yards to the Lions. Kirk Cousins played about the best he could possibly play and Justin Jefferson had the best receiving game in franchise history, yet Detroit's passing game could not be stopped.
