-- The Lions' secondary has yet to register an interception this year, so Brad Johnson might be able to implement some play action here. And Detroit not producing a lot of yards in the running game. Speaking of ground attacks, Minnesota coach Brad Childress is sticking with his, behind the rock-solid left side of that offensive line. But Detroit's defensive front not all that bad. Chester Taylor (293 yds.) averaging only 3.5 ypc. Johnson has thrown just two TD passes. And the Vikings (just 16 ppg) hardly a "pull-away" offense. Meanwhile, Jon Kitna & Co. showed signs of life against St. Louis last week, indicating Mike Martz's offensive designs may be starting to take hold. The best of RB Kevin Jones (4.1 ypc) is yet to be seen.
JAY'S PLAY: DETROIT
