Vikings Host Lions at the Metrodome



How the times have changed.

Two years ago the Vikings were on their way to their 6-0 start that led to a NFC North Title. Two years ago it wasn't rare to see Vikings tees everywhere, to have your best friend regularly paint his face purple or to actually have fans like our quarterback. The Lions were scrambling for a win. The Lions were the only team to go winless during a 16-game season in 2008.

Today the Vikings are heading into week three attempting to avoid a 0-3 start and are among 7 winless teams. The Lions are looking to improve to 3-0 for the first time since 1980! They are just coming off a 48-3 win over Kansas City. The Vikings will be hosting the Detroit Lions at the Minneapolis Metrodome.

Tyrell Johnson must be thinking the situation is pretty dire. He was arrested on suspicion of driving while impaired this week. Johnson's blood alcohol limit was .12, well over the state legal limit of .08. Things are falling apart.

Come on Vikes, I can't handle anymore of this Minnesota sports slump.
