Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores loves to bring pressure as Minnesota leads the NFL in blitz percentage (38 percent). The Vikings are third in quarterback hurries (62) and third in sacks (47) on the year.

But blitz Jared Goff at your own risk. Goff has a 127.1 passer rating when blitzed this season with 15 touchdowns, two interceptions and eight sacks taken. Goff was 15-for-16 passing (93.8 percent) for 165 yards and a touchdown (sacked once) when he was blitzed in Detroit’s 31-29 win over Minnesota earlier in the year.

It’s no coincidence the two 14-2 teams squaring off in the last game of the regular season with so much on the line are among the best in the NFL in turnover differential. Detroit is plus-11 and Minnesota plus-10.

Minnesota is really good at creating takeaways as they are tied with Buffalo and Pittsburgh for the league lead (31). The Lions had a late fumble that was returned for a touchdown that nearly cost them in the first game with the Vikings. Minnesota is 6-0 this season when creating at least two takeaways in a game.

Detroit’s 13 giveaways this season are the fourth fewest in the NFL. Detroit’s defense has 24 takeaways of their own with the safety duo of Kerby Joseph (9) and Brian Branch (4) accounting for 13 of those via interceptions. Whichever team creates extra possessions with takeaways has the upper hand in this one.
