It was the season finale between the divisional rivals fighting for the top spot in the conference. Minnesota Vikings vs Detroit Lions! Not only the players but even the fans were pumped up. The Vikes wanted revenge at Ford Field while the home team needed a victory to finish with 1st seed in the NFC. What happened in the stands during the game crossed some boundaries. Family members of the visiting team players didn’t have a great experience, though.

Vikings OL Dalton Risner’s wife, Whitney Marie, shared the horrifying details of her visit to Ford Field on TikTok. Claiming that many fans heckled her, she added that some even touched her while calling out names. OL’s wife wrote, “Little did I know that I would be heckled, touched, and called names at last nights game by Detroit fans (simply for being Vikings fans).” She then congratulated her husband, who finished his 6th season in the league, and wished him luck for the playoffs.

Taylor Saunders, girlfriend of LB Blake Cashman, also called it a bad experience with her caption on TikTok that read, “Travel 10/10 ladies 10/10 Detroit fans 0/10.” When one person replied to her with “Detroit fans 100000/10“, she commented, “Wishing injuries on the opposing team players ain’t the vibe babe”

The Vikings had tried a $2 million gamble that failed. They bought around 1900 tickets worth $1,000, totaling around $2 million. They sold it to their fans at a concession price of $200, hoping to get maximum fans at Ford Field. But the move backfired.

The Lions dominated their rivals. It was wild. The Vikes O-line looked clueless about making plays.

Dan Campbell’ applauds Lions after decimating the Vikings

After the win, the Lions HC was ecstatic. Running high on adrenaline when he entered the locker room, Campbell said, “That was unbelievable, man. Division winners, back-to-back seasons and the No 1 seed! That was a total team effort.” Their season has been unbelievable.

In the NFC North division, The Lions handed the Vikes their first loss of the season in week 7, and the last loss of the season. The Vikes O-line totally failed. Just to give you an idea, RB Jahmyr Gibbs scored 4 touchdowns in 23 rushes in 139 rushing yards. But the Vikings’ had no touchdowns for 19 rushes in 120 rushing yards.

They constantly put pressure on the quarterback Sam Darnold, limiting him to 166 passing yards. But they also made forced mistakes with his pass accuracy down to 43.9%, completing only 18 of 41 passes. They need to take their lessons and get ready for the playoff game against the Rams on January 13. It’s crucial.
