Vikings squash Lions' playoff chances on Christmas Day, force 6 turnovers

The Detroit Lions were hoping for a gift from the Minnesota Vikings on Christmas. Instead, they got a lump of coal and then some.

The Vikings played spoiler with an upset victory over their NFC North rival, 23-10.

Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison didn’t touch the ball until the fourth quarter and made the biggest play of the night. He took a handoff from quarterback Max Brosmer, found space on the right side of the line of scrimmage and powered through the Swiss cheese Lions defense.
