Detroit Lions fall prey to Kirk Cousins' Hail Mary vs. Vikings

A really good first-half defensive effort by the Detroit Lions, erased on one play?

Sounds about right.

The Lions giving up a Hail Mary touchdown, for the second time in ... well, many of our lifetimes?

Sure.

And of course, the quarterback for the heave was Kirk Cousins, who has a history of successful Hail Marys in this state.

With time running out in the first half, Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph caught a pass and ran toward the left sideline. He was tackled short of the our-of-bounds boundary, but Minnesota, trailing 9-7 and seemingly unable to move the ball most of the day, called timeout with 2 seconds left.
