Lions-Vikings recap: Offense struggles as Detroit drops 6th straight

The Detroit Lions didn’t put up much of a fight against the Minnesota Vikings. Though the defense gave Detroit a chance at an upset, David Blough’s second career start at quarterback was not nearly as successful as his first. The Lions didn’t score until the game was already in hand, as Detroit dropped it’s sixth-straight game, 20-7.

Here’s how it happened.

The Lions loss the toss, which means David Blough would be up first. Unfortunately for Blough, his first two passes were batted down at the line, and he didn’t even get a chance at a third, as Danielle Hunter picked up a third-down sack for a quick three-and-out.
