The Viking's defense shows up again as they key a Viking 16-13 win over the Giants in New York. JJ McCarthy was 9-14 for 108 yard before leaving in the 2nd half with a hand injury. We give our offensive and defensive players of the week and discuss other Vikings players that contributed to the victory.

The Vikings host Detroit on Christmas day and are 7.5 point underdogs. Brosmer will start at QB as McCarthy has a hairline fracture to his right hand and will miss at least one week. We discuss keys to the game, as both teams head into the short week. St. Brown is also questionable right now, which would be a big blow to the Lions offense as they try to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. We preview other keys to the game as well.
