Zimmer announces Case Keenum to start Thursday in Detroit

It's been a bit of a weekly debate for the Minnesota Vikings all season but with the early week game in Detroit we've already got an answer for the starting quarterback on Thanksgiving day.

Based off of his play the past few weeks, it shouldn't be a surprise, but head coach Mike Zimmer officially announced that Case Keenum will be the starter against the Lions.

Keenum is averaging 258 yards per game this season along with more than two touchdowns per game in his last three starts. He's completed more than 70% of his passes the last two weeks and has a season passer rating of 93.7. All of that has amounted enough confidence in Keenum to be the starter for what should be the rest of the season.
