When the two teams met just a mere two weeks ago, Detroit beat Minnesota in a Christmas Eve game that clinched the NFC North for the Lions. For today's game, the Lions have ruled out wide receiver Jameson Williams, linebacker James Houston and tight end Brock Wright. The Vikings are going back to veteran quarterback Nick Mullens for this Week 18 season finale.
