Vikings' Andrew Van Ginkel: Difference-maker in win
Van Ginkel had five total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, and recovered two fumbles in Thursday's win over Detroit.
Van Ginkel had a signature performance in the win as he had two key takeaways in the opponent's backfield on a day when Minnesota's offense barely moved the ball. He now has 7.0 sacks in 11 games this season.

Vikings' Andrew Van Ginkel: Picks off pass in Week 14 rout
Van Ginkel notched four tackles (one solo) and two defensed passes, including an interception, in Sunday's 31-0 victory versus the Commanders.
Van Ginkel's biggest play came in the third quarter, when he intercepted a pass intended for Terry McLaurin and returned it 40 yards to set up a Minnesota field goal. That was Van Ginkel's first pickoff of the campaign and fifth of his career, all of which have come over the past four seasons. The veteran linebacker's sack count has been down a bit this year -- he has 4.0 through eight games -- but he's also contributed seven defensed passes, one shy of his career-best regular-season mark.

Vikings' Andrew Van Ginkel: Sacks Williams in Week 11
Van Ginkel recorded eight total tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Bears.
The Wisconsin product was one of two Vikings to get after the quarterback in the Week 11 loss, bringing down Caleb Williams at the start of the fourth quarter. Van Ginkel has played in just five games this season due to a lingering neck issue, recording 22 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and four passes defended over 223 defensive snaps. He's expected to continue causing problems for opposing offensive linemen in the Week 12 matchup against the Packers.
