Welcome back to the Vikings Postgame Report presented by Lumen - The trusted network of A.I. The Minnesota Vikings defeated the Detroit Lions 23-10 on Christmas Day at U.S. Bank Stadium. The Vikings Defense had a field day, feasting on Lions turnovers. The Vikings Defense sacked Jared Goff 5 times in the game, recovered 4 fumbles, and picked off 2 of his passes. Linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel led the team with 1.5 sacks while Safety Theo Jackson, Safety Harrison Smith and Linebacker Blake Cashman all notched one, and Linebacker Dallas Turner finished out the game with a half-sack of his own. Van Ginkel also recovered 2 fumbles, Cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. recovered 1, and Defensive Tackle Jalen Redmond recovered the other. Both Byron Murphy Jr. and Harrison Smith also grabbed interceptions off Goff in the game. Smith’s sack and interceptions put him into an elite NFL group: he’s only the 2nd player in NFL history to record at least 38 interceptions and 21.5 sacks. Linebacker Blake Cashman led the team with 17 tackles. Quarterback Max Brosmer finished the game 9-of-16 for 51 yards passing and added 16 yards on the ground.
