“You need to stay up out,” Lions brutal Lil Yachty’s ‘Minnesota’ taunt on Vikings after victory

The Vikings didn’t need any more fuel for their January rematch, but they got it anyway.

When you win, you can celebrate whatever you choose. The Lions, who defeated the Vikings in a 31-29 thriller on Sunday, elected to taunt their division rivals by playing Lil Yachty’s 2016 song “Minnesota” in the visitor’s locker room at U.S. Bank Stadium.

“Cause it get cold like Minnesota, cold like Minnesota,” goes the song’s chorus. “You need to stay up out them streets if you can’t take the heat.”

Terrion Arnold, the Lions rookie cornerback who, for what it’s worth, lost edge contain on Aaron Jones’ touchdown run that opened the scoring, shared a video of the celebration on his Instagram account.

Oh, and that does not appear to be the first time they have done this. The Lions last visited Minneapolis on Christmas Eve, defeating the Vikings to win their first NFC North title in 30 years. They continued to play the song after the triumph.

The Lions have now won four straight games versus the Vikings, with each victory resulting in at least 30 points. They still trail 80-44-2 in the all-time series between the two teams, but this current version of the squad appears to be a serious Super Bowl contender after falling just short in the NFC championship game last season.

The Vikings and Lions are now knotted at 5-1, with Detroit leading the division thanks to the head-to-head tiebreaker. They’ll meet again at Ford Field in Week 18 in a game with potentially high stakes. The Vikings will have plenty of motivation going into that game.
