Detroit Lions drop to 0-5 after stunning rally, gut punch 19-17 loss to Minnesota Vikings

MINNEAPOLIS — The Detroit Lions stunned the Minnesota Vikings, with a comeback on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Then they lost on the last play of the game again, 19-17. Incredible.

The Lions are 0-5 for the first time since 2015, Jim Caldwell's second season.

Down 16-9, the Lions forced an Alexander Mattison fumble on the first play after the two-minute warning. D'Andre Swift scored on a 7-yard run, then Jared Goff found backup receiver KhaDarel Hodge in the back of the end zone for the two-point conversion and the lead.

But Kirk Cousins got the Vikings to the Lions' 37 and Greg Joseph kicked a 54-yard field to win the game.
