Lions Visit Division Rival Vikings

The Lions look to bounce back from a disappointing loss to open the NFL season when they visit division rival Minnesota.

After just four pass attempts to star receiver Calvin Johnson last weekend, Lions QB Matthew Stafford on getting Megatron more involved.

"It's just on us to find ways to get him the ball," says Stafford. "When you only have 46 plays in a game it's difficult to really get everybody involved, it kind of felt like that for a lot of guys, not only Calvin, so we've got to stay on the field on 3rd down a little bit better than we did last week and get more shots at it."

Defensive End Darryl Tapp says trying to tackle Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson is no easy task, somewhat jokingly saying the best way to bring him down is to have him completely surrounded.

Kick-off at TCF Bank Stadium is set for 1pm.
