Week 12 NFL Open Thread

We all watched on Thursday afternoon as the Minnesota Vikings took care of business with a 30-23 victory over the Detroit Lions at Ford Field. That was just the start of Week 12 action in the National Football League, and with all teams having completed their byes, there are 11 games to be played on this Sunday. So, you know what that means.

Yes, it’s another RED ZONE SUNDAY here at The Daily Norseman, as we Viking fans enjoy a stress-free Sunday and watch all of the action unfold across the rest of the National Football League.

Here’s a full listing of the games that will be taking place this afternoon. If you’re unsure of what games will be showing in your area (if you don’t have Sunday Ticket or the Red Zone Channel), you can check out the coverage maps from the good folks at 506 Sports.
