The Minnesota Vikings are now on the outside looking in for a playoff spot heading into week 17 after losing a 30-24 heartbreaker to the Detroit Lions.
Things aren’t always as they seem, especially with the performance of quarterback Nick Mullens. He did throw for four interceptions, but also threw for 400 yard, becoming the second player in team history to ever accomplish that feat.
