Vikings Get Creative in Short-Yardage Scenarios

MINNEAPOLIS — The Vikings final offensive play of Sunday’s game was a success in a short-yardage situation.

But it capped off a game in which Minnesota produced a mixed bag of results while just a yard or two away from a first down in a 22-16 overtime loss to the Lions at U.S. Bank Stadium.

“We will build on what we did today,” said right guard Brandon Fusco. “I think we did some good things, but it wasn’t good enough.

“Fourth-and-1 in the red zone, penalties and sacks in the red zone … missed opportunities there,” he added.
