Free Press reporter Carlos Monarrez answers three questions about the Detroit Lions' 20-7 loss Sunday to the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis.

Did anything good come out of the Lions’ sixth straight loss?

Yes. And it’s important. The Lions not only didn’t quit in their 20-7 loss to the Minnesota Vikings — they didn’t quit trying to win the game. With 2:14 left, the Lions trailed, 20-0, and faced fourth-and-5 from the Vikings’ 10-yard line.
