and Hey every Hey everybody welcome to

welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collar along with Andrew

Kramer inside TCO Performance Center and Mr Kramer. We have quite a national

football league contest here in Roger Goodell's famous League of

football. I'm very excited about this one. I'm going to ask you a question right off the beginning here

When is the last Vikings Lions matchup that we were this worked up about that we were talking about as like whoa this could

determine the NFC north this one's gonna be great look how these two teams

match up their offense your defense football like when's the last one that was this exciting boy I would have to say I want to go back to two years ago however we all know how that went

obviously when the lions beat the Vikings when they were 13 and 4 that year.

We're trying to see are they for real all those things they had just lost to Dallas,

40 to 3 in November and I believe it was that second matchup with the Lions going into

Cameronville, that was a Ford Field or US Bank.

But either way, that game, I guess,

you would have thought as a measuring stick,

where do they stand?

But to your point, it's been a long time since I felt like the Vikings truly matched up with a good Lions team and part of this issue is that the lions were so bad for so long that when the Vikings were good, it's just been so long since both of these teams were relevant and for the

NFC North to be on the off to the best start ever in the modern era in terms of a

division. It says something about where these lonely, low franchises like Detroit have come,

and then obviously the Vikings have met them there this Sunday.

Why don't we compare these Vikings and Lions teams then to when they were recently successful.

So the Vikings 2022 and that was that game was at Ford Field and that was the one where they threw

the ball to Penn A Sewell at the end to close out the game and I believe also that was James and Williams where he had one catch in the season.
