After getting another monkey off of their back last week with a dominant win over the Dallas Cowboys, the Detroit Lions had to go back on the road, taking on the undefeated Minnesota Vikings.
The Vikings put up a good fight, getting up 10-0 quickly, and it wasn’t looking good for the Lions. After calming down, the Lions offense figured out the Vikings defense and was able to take control of the game, until craziness ensued in the fourth quarter. The Vikings would take the lead in the middle of the fourth quarter and despite the Lions offense failing on their next drive, the defense came up big and forced a punt.
