Game summary
The Detroit Lions' defense limited the Minnesota Vikings offense to 5 total yards in 12 plays through its first four drives of the game Sunday at Ford Field.
From there, Minnesota scored 27 unanswered points — including a converted Hail Mary to Kyle Rudolph at the end of the first half — and cruised to a 27-9 victory in Detroit's home finale.
Rudolph had nine catches for 122 yards and two touchdowns and Adam Thielen made five catches for 80 yards.
The Lions' offense was boring, ineffective and whatever adjective one might use to describe a unit that moved the ball just 223 yards, punted from its opponent's territory twice and never really had a shot at the end zone.
