Minnesota Vikings lose at U.S. Bank Stadium to Detroit Lions in overtime

Losing at home is never fun, but it was bound to happen eventually. For the Minnesota Vikings, they were able to hold off their opponents until week 9, when the Detroit Lions were able to get a win in the new facility 22-16 in overtime. Here’s a quick rundown of how it happened:

The Minnesota Vikings took the kickoff first, with Cordarrelle Patterson getting the ball out to the 26 yard line. The short passing game started out well, but after a failed run and off-target pass, the Vikings were forced to give up on their first possession and punt the ball away.
