The Vikings couldn’t get out of their own way and, along with too many injuries, cost them in Detroit. The Minnesota Vikings suffered their first loss within the division on Sunday by a score of 34-23 to the Detroit Lions
The game early on was more of a back-and-forth, but mistakes from the Vikings ended up being costly. The Lions were ahead 14-7 at the half due to the Vikings getting a little too cute and trying a running back jump pass. Unfortunately, Dalvin Cook fumbled and the Vikings didn’t get another touchdown until there was 2:49 left in the fourth quarter. By that point, it was too late. The Lions found a way to convert too many third and fourth downs
