The Real Forno Show 🎙️🏈: Can Brian Flores lead Vikings to victory? With Guest Dan Alter

1 hour 4 minutes

Welcome to a brand new episode of The Real Forno Show with your host, Tyler Forness. As you know, we're all about football and today's episode is no different. We're taking a deep dive into the upcoming Christmas Eve match-up between the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions, and trust me, you don't want to miss this!

This isn't just any ordinary game. It's the second winter whiteout at the U.S. Bank Stadium, and the stakes couldn't be higher. The outcome of this game could potentially decide the NFC North crown. If the Vikings manage to secure a win, they'll be in the running for the title. On the other hand, a victory for the Lions would secure their first division title since it was the NFC Central back in 1993. The tension is high, and the excitement is palpable.

Joining us on the show today is our special guest, Dan Alter. Dan is a true-blue Lions fan hailing from Michigan. He's not only an avid supporter but also has a wealth of knowledge about the game. We'll be picking his brain about the upcoming game and discussing the critical aspects that might sway the game in favor of one team or the other.

One of the main topics we'll be dissecting is whether Jameson Williams could turn out to be the dark horse who tips the scales. We'll also be breaking down strategies that could potentially stop Jared Goff in his tracks. And of course, we can't ignore the Lions' impressive year-over-year growth. What has been their secret sauce? We'll try to unveil that mystery with Dan's keen insights.

But it's not just about offense. The defense is going to play a crucial role as well and leading the Vikings' defense is none other than Brian Flores. His unit was exposed by the Cincinnati Bengals with dig routes over the middle. Adjusting to counter that will be key, especially with Ben Johnson's offense for the Lions thriving upon crossing routes. Can they slow down the dynamic duo of Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison? That's the million-dollar question.

There's a lot to unpack and discuss, and we're thrilled to have you join us as we explore all these and more on this episode of The Real Forno Show. So sit back, relax, and let's talk Vikings football!
