Lions let late lead slip away, fall to Vikings

Minneapolis — After going winless on the road last season, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell will have to keep waiting to taste victory away from home. The team's aggressive play-calling allowed them to twice jump out to double-digit leads on Sunday, but came back to bite them at the end of both halves as the Minnesota Vikings rallied with a touchdown in the final minute to snatch the victory from the Lions' jaws on Sunday, 28-24.

Taking over with 1:10 remaining and no timeouts after Lions kicker Austin Seibert missed a 54-yard field goal, the Vikings needed just 25 seconds to take the lead.
