The Lions defense is doing its best to hold on to the lead, but the Lions offense isn't making things any easier. After getting the ball back at their own 36, Matt Stafford continued to deal with an immense mount of pressure from the Vikings defensive line, getting sacked on third down and forcing the Lions to punt the ball.
With 8:16 remaining, the Lions are still leading 14-7.
