Christmas Day Showdown: Which NFL Teams Are Poised for Unforgettable Holiday Victory?

The Vikings, coming off Sunday’s 16-13 win over the New York Giants for their third win in a row, won this season’s first matchup 27-24 in Week 9 at Detroit by shutting down Jahmyr Gibbs and the Lions’ high-powered ground game.

Gibbs’ 13 rushing touchdowns are tied with the Packers’ Josh Jacobs for second in the NFL and he ranks third in average yards per rush at 5.3. But he rushed for just 25 yards on nine carries in the first game against the Vikings.

The Lions came out with a 12 personnel on 49.2% of their offensive snaps, and on those 30 plays, Minnesota stacked the box with seven defenders more than usual at 76.7% of the time. On the season, the Vikings stack the box with seven defenders 57.9% of the time when an offense is in 12 personnel.
