This team is a roller coaster.
The Detroit Lions were spinning their tires for most of the game, but a surprisingly effective defense kept it close. With the Minnesota Vikings trying to bleed the clock, a crucial fumble gave the Lions’ life. A touchdown and two-point conversion gave them the lead, but the Lions were once again o the wrong side of a long-range game-winning field goal. The Lions fall to 0-5.
Let's take a look at what can we take away from this loss to the Vikings?
