Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions: First quarter recap and second quarter discussion

The first quarter of play at Ford Field is in the books, with your Minnesota Vikings leading the Detroit Lions by a score of 6-0.

The Vikings got the football first in this one, as the Lions won the toss and deferred to the second half. Minnesota got the ball just over midfield, but wound up having to punt it away after a short pass to Adam Thielen came up short. . .of the line of scrimmage. Thielen was also injured on the play, so we’ll have to keep an eye on his status.
