Lions vs. Vikings score, takeaways: Detroit delivers Minnesota first loss of season with game-winning FG
The Detroit Lions have taken over first place in the NFC North, thanks to the heroics of Jake Bates and Jared Goff. Bates drilled a 44-yard field goal with 15 seconds to play to give the Lions a thrilling 31-29 victory over the Minnesota Vikings in an NFC North battle that saw two of the NFL's best teams engage in a shootout.
Three keys to the Minnesota Vikings’ 31-29 loss to the Detroit Lions
After the Vikings defense forced a three-and-out, sacking Goff on third down for emphasis, the offense needed to sustain a drive with 4:16 left. But the Vikings went three-and-out, too. On third-and-4, Darnold overthrew Justin Jefferson and they had to punt. Given more than two minutes and needing only a field goal to win, Goff delivered.
The Lions (4-1) are on the road for their first NFC North matchup, and riding high after dismantling the Cowboys last week.
