It's win or wonder time for the Vikings.
Minnesota (7-6-1) can do itself significant help with a win against the Lions (5-9) in Detroit on Sunday.
The Vikings also may or may not have the opportunity to clinch a playoff berth this week if: they win, Washington (7-7) loses at Tennessee (8-6) on Saturday and Houston (10-4) defeats Philadelphia (7-7) Sunday.
A loss by Minnesota, however, could create a dicey postseason situation heading into the final week of the regular season.
The Vikings-Lions game is the same time as the Texans-Eagles matchup. Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer doesn't want his players to do any scoreboard watching, but fans will be able to see Saturday's game and then keep tabs on whether or not Houston does a favor for Minnesota.
NFL Network will broadcast the Redskins-at-Titans game at 3:30 p.m. (CT) Saturday.
The Texans-at-Eagles game will air in all of Minnesota at noon (CT) Sunday on CBS while the Vikings are making their annual appearance in the Motor City on FOX.
Kansas City (11-3) will visit Seattle (8-6) on NBC's Sunday Night Football in a national broadcast. In between the noon games and nightcap, CBS will air Pittsburgh (8-5-1) at New Orleans (12-2) from coast to coast. The Saints can clinch the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC with one more victory this season.
Here are notes on the Redskins-Titans, Texans-Eagles and Chiefs-Seahawks games.
