The Lions managed only one TD on Sunday against the Vikings. But their defense saved the day.

MINNEAPOLIS – It’s nothing but organized chaos.

Here comes Lions defensive end Anthony Zettel, speeding around the edge — full throttle — grabbing Vikings quarterback Case Keenum in a bear hug and tossing him to the turf, like a kid throwing a teddy bear down to the carpet from the top bunk.

Here comes linebacker Tahir Whitehead, seemingly the last healthy linebacker for the Lions, filling a gap and cutting down a running back, like a lumberjack taking down a giant oak.
