"We put ourselves in a bad, bad situation," linebacker Stephen Tulloch told ESPN.com. "Unfortunately, we can't dig ourselves out of it now."

The Vikings have lost seven of their first eight.

"We realize that there is one week left in the fight," linebacker Chad Greenway told ESPN.com. "We need to get a win at home to put the Metrodome to sleep. We have to bring our best game."

Lions coach Jim Schwartz and Vikings coach Leslie Frazier now find themselves in similarly dubious situations, potentially coaching the last game for their respective teams, according to ESPN.com.

"For our players, it's important that they focus on the task," Frazier said. "That's what I'm asking them to do, and I need to do the same thing. It's very, very important if you want to have a chance to win these games down the stretch that I stay focused on what's involved with leading our team, and I want them to follow. It's important I handle it the right way."
