This time, it wasn’t the officials who were catching most of the blame. Instead, it was the red-hot opposing quarterback, the almost-impossible-to-tackle running back and another disappointing defensive performance that did in the Detroit Lions.
Quarterback Kirk Cousins continued his stellar stretch for the Minnesota Vikings throwing for 337 yards, 4 touchdowns, and no interceptions and Dalvin Cook added 142 yards on the ground and two more scores as the Vikings beat the Lions 42-30 on Sunday at Ford Field.
The Lions have dropped three straight games to fall to 2-3-1, while the Vikings climb to 5-2.
