The Detroit Lions continued to keep the good times rolling with an impressive win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. With that win, the Lions have turned playoff talk that seemed premature and incredibly lofty a few weeks ago into a legitimate discussion.
Perhaps most impressive of Sunday’s win was that it was far from their best performance. Detroit’s defense gave up far too many explosive plays, and early on, the Lions had way too many penalties that dug themselves into a hole.
Yet they weathered the storm, kept a comfortable lead for most of the game, and still ended up winning by multiple scores over a 10-2 team.
