Detroit Lions vs Minnesota Vikings Live Stream Free: Watch Online NFL Game (Roster News, TV Schedule)

The Detroit Lions battles the Minnesota Vikings on October 12 at the TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The game starts at 1:00 pm ET and can be watched online through live stream via the link provided below (free for subscribers).

The Lions (3-2) are looking to avoid a two game losing streak after their recent 17-14 loss versus the Buffalo Bills (this past Sunday), as QB Matthew Stafford and the rest of the Detroit team battles their NFC rival Vikings this weekend.

In the game versus the Bills, Stafford threw six impressive TD passes, but his four interceptions resulted in the aforementioned loss to Buffalo.

Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson (aka Megatron) revealed what his squad needs to do in order to win in the upcoming game versus the Vikings while he currently battles an ankle injury.

"You want to be smart. You don't want to put yourself in a position where you can't be there for the team when it comes down to it there at the end, and that's what we're trying to be smart about right now," said Johnson to reporters.

"Anytime you're dealing with an ankle, you got to run, you got to cut and do all those things, so it makes it tough. Just a lot of treatment that goes into it. Take some time to rest and get off your feet as well."

Meanwhile, the Vikings (2-3) are looking to rebound from their recent crushing defeat to the Green Bay Packers by 42-10 (on October 2), as Minnesota looks to prevent a potential two game losing streak this Sunday versus the Lions.

"[Minnesota QB] Teddy (Bridgewater) is a super competitor," said Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer to reporters.

"He's got a lot of poise, and he's got a lot of talent. I hope his expectations are high."
