Did anyone expect a Lions game do to anything but boil down to the wire?
Following their season-long script, Detroit put their loyal fan base through the ringer before notching a crafty 16-13 victory triggered by a Darius Slay interception that set up Matt Prater's game-winning, 40-yard field goal as time expired.
Slay's pick of Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford came with the game tied at 13-13 and Minnesota driving for a potential tilt-sealing score. Detroit's ball-hawking cornerback jumped the route on a pass intended for wideout Adam Thielen and barreled 13 yards to the Vikings' 20 with 30 seconds left on the clock.
