Expect Vikings put plenty of pressure on Lions QB David Blough

The Vikings are going from facing Russell Wilson in Week 13, to David Blough in Week 14.

This is no disrespect to one Davdi Blough, but he is no Russell Wilson.

On Thanksgiving, though, Blough held his own, throwing for 280 yards and two touchdowns against a tough Bears defense. He did throw an interception and was sacked twice.

With Jeff Driskel on the IR and Matthew Stafford (back) out, Blough will likely get his second-straight start.

My guess is that the Vikings will put a lot of pressure on Blough, giving him plenty of blitz looks to avoid giving Blough too much time against a secondary that has really struggled in 2019.

The last time the Vikings faced the Lions, Stafford nearly threw for 400 yards and Marvin Jones caught four touchdowns. Even without Stafford, I would imagine Detroit will take that same approach against the Vikings on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium.
