Vikings holding strong in NFC North behind surging offense
DETROIT -- By way of a shootout, the Minnesota Vikings have their first NFC North win of the season, beating the Detroit Lions 42-30 on Sunday.
In the absence of Pro Bowl receiver Adam Thielen, who sustained a hamstring injury in his right leg after catching a highlight reel TD pass in the back of the end zone in the first quarter and was eventually ruled out, Minnesota’s offense churned out its highest point total of the season.
