5 – After leading the league in rushing for the majority of the season, Dalvin Cook has dropped to No. 5 in the NFL with 1,046 yards on the ground. He had a quiet game against Denver in Week 11. In Seattle, he suffered an injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the game. Cook told reporters postgame that he’ll be “good to go” for Sunday’s contest against Detroit, though.
13 – Lions cornerback Justin Coleman, who spent time with the Vikings, leads the Lions with 13 passes defensed through 12 games (nine starts). He also has two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and an interception that he returned 55 yards at Green Bay in Week 6.
249 – Minnesota through 12 games has 249 defensive sack yards, which is tied with Jacksonville for ninth-best in the NFL. The Vikings have 33 sacks on the season, with Danielle Hunter (9.5) and Everson Griffen (7.0) leading the way.
49.5 – Speaking of sacks, Hunter is just one-half sack short of being the youngest player in NFL history to reach 50 career takedowns. Worth noting is that sacks did not become an official stat until 1982.
950 – Lions receiver Kenny Golladay is just 50 yards from hitting the 1,000-yard mark for the second consecutive season. The second-year player was limited by Minnesota’s defense to just one catch for 21 yards on Oct. 20.
7 & 8 – The Lions and Vikings rank seventh and eighth, respectively, in total yards so far. Detroit’s offense has racked up 4,527 yards compared to Minnesota’s 4,519.
