EAGAN, Minn. -- Modern NFL teams almost never win the way the Minnesota Vikings did Thursday at U.S. Bank Stadium.

The Vikings became the third team in the past 40 seasons to finish with fewer than 10 net passing yards in a victory, riding a stellar performance from their defense and placekicker Will Reichard in a 23-10 win over the Detroit Lions.

With rookie quarterback Max Brosmer making his second career start, and three starting offensive linemen sidelined by injury, the Vikings managed just 3 net passing yards.
