The Minnesota Vikings are expected to give quarterback Nick Mullens his second consecutive start in Sunday's key divisional game against the Detroit Lions. Mullens completed 26 of 33 passes for 303 yards and two touchdowns in the Vikings' 27-24 overtime loss last Saturday to the Cincinnati Bengals. He threw two interceptions in the second quarter to end scoring threats, but largely fulfilled coach Kevin O'Connell's philosophy of getting the ball downfield to wide receivers. Rookie Jordan Addison caught six passes for 111 yards and both scores, while Justin Jefferson snagged seven passes for 84 yards in his first full game since Week 4.
