Bucky Brooks Breaks Down Lions vs. Vikings: NFC North Heavyweight Fight | The NFL Report
The NFL Report just dropped a must-listen preview for Sunday’s NFC North showdown.
Per the Oct 28 episode (11:50pm ET), NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks joined Steve Wyche and James Palmer to break down Vikings vs Lions — billed as an NFC North heavyweight fight between the Detroit Lions (4-2) and the undefeated Minnesota Vikings (6-0).
Rundown for the episode includes:
• Does Lamar Jackson return for Week 8? • Colts trade talks shifting toward Josh Downs • Vikings vs Lions Preview • Ben Johnson’s offense vs. Mike Macdonald’s defense • Buy or Deny with Bucky Brooks
Brooks is expected to dive into the key matchups: Gibbs vs Aaron Jones in the run game, Lions pass rush (Hutchinson 9 pressures vs Packers) vs Justin Jefferson who has just 1 TD in last 4 games, and Brian Flores’ blitz-heavy defense (Vikings holding opponents to 12.3 ppg, 2nd in yards allowed) vs Jared Goff who has 14 TDs, 0 INTs and Detroit’s 30.7 ppg offense.
The game is Sunday Nov 1 at Ford Field — Lions favored by 3+ despite Vikings being last undefeated team. Kevin O’Connell called it “a heck of a challenge” that will take “everything we got.”
