Minneapolis — After going winless on the road last season, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell will have to keep waiting to taste victory away from home.
And it was his decision to attempt a long field goal in the closing minutes of Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium that arguably cost his team a game it had control of heading into the fourth quarter.
After deploying an aggressive game plan all afternoon, Campbell opted to reverse course at the game's most critical moment, sending kicker Austin Seibert out for a 54-yard field goal with a little more than a minute remaining and the Lions nursing a three-point lead.
