The tension between the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings just got even hotter after Week 9. Following their hard-fought matchup, some Vikings players publicly called out Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond, accusing him of a “dirty play” that crossed the line.
The incident in question reportedly occurred late in the game during a special teams sequence, where Raymond appeared to make contact that Minnesota players didn’t take kindly to. While no flag was thrown, several Vikings spoke out afterward, suggesting that the hit was unnecessary and “not a football play.”
Raymond, known for his speed and effort on every snap, hasn’t responded publicly — but Lions fans are already rallying behind him, calling the accusations overblown and emotional after a tough divisional loss for Minnesota.
It’s another reminder that this NFC North rivalry is getting personal, and with both teams still battling for position, things could get even more intense when they meet again later this season.
