Vikings fans toasting a Christmas spoiler job over Detroit while quietly admitting Brosmer can't keep starting.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A season-sweep of Detroit dressed up an otherwise dreary year, with J.Addison's 65-yard sprint in the fourth essentially sealing it and H.Smith adding another signature interception to the ledger. D.Turner and A.Van Ginkel spent the night living in J.Goff's lap, forcing two fumbles between them. The harder question lingers underneath the celebration: if M.Brosmer's offense can only manage 23 against this version of the Lions, what exactly is being built here?
