The Detroit Lions went into US Bank Stadium and came away with a clutch NFC North win in Week 7. Dan Campbell’s Lions survived a thrilling matchup with the Minnesota Vikings, coming away with a 31-29 win and handing the home team their first loss of the season.
It was a huge victory for Detroit, overcoming a 10-0 deficit and then giving away an 11-point lead before kicker Jake Bates nailed the game-winner with 15 seconds to play.
Here are some of the best reactions on social media after the game, from both Detroit and national outlets.
