Lions' QB situationDrew Stanton, the Lions' 2007 second-round pick, could be getting closer to seeing action with Jon Kitna and Dan Orlovsky suffering injuries against the Bears. Stanton missed all of last season after knee surgery and just returned to practice last week after missing a month because of a thumb injury.

Lions receivers: No matter who plays quarterback for the Lions, he will have plenty of weapons. Roy Williams had 12 receptions for 196 yards and a touchdown in two games against the Vikings last year. Calvin Johnson has 19 receptions for 292 yards and a pair of touchdowns this season.

The Vikings' man in the middle: David Herron was on the bubble in training camp, but he's Minnesota's new starting middle linebacker after E.J. Henderson was placed on injured reserve before Monday night's game. Herron had two tackles against the Saints.

Aerial assault: Quarterback Gus Frerotte has been solid in three starts for the Vikings since taking over for Tarvaris Jackson. He could be looking at a big game against a Lions defense that is ranked 29th against the pass and one that gave up 334 yards and two touchdowns to Orton last week.
