The Detroit Lions have had a roller coaster of a season, but they are now celebrating a big win over the Minnesota Vikings. On Sunday, the Lions defeated the Vikings 30-20, thanks in large part to the stellar performance of quarterback Jared Goff.
Goff threw for a total of 295 yards and three touchdowns, completing 25 of his 33 passes. He was also able to lead the Lions on two fourth-quarter scoring drives that sealed the victory. Goff was able to spread the ball around to a variety of receivers, including Marvin Jones Jr., who had six catches for 109 yards and two touchdowns.
The Lions defense also played a key role in the win, holding the Vikings to just 20 points. The Lions were able to pressure Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins throughout the game, sacking him four times and forcing two interceptions. The Lions also forced two fumbles, one of which was recovered by safety Duron Harmon.
The win over the Vikings was a much-needed one for the Lions, who had lost three of their last four games. With the win, the Lions now have a 6-7 record and are still in contention for a playoff spot.
The performance of Goff was especially impressive, as he was able to lead the Lions to victory despite being without star running back D’Andre Swift. With Goff at the helm, the Lions have a chance to make some noise in the playoffs if they can continue to play at this level.
Overall, it was an impressive win for the Lions over a tough opponent. With Goff leading the way, the Lions have a chance to make some noise in the playoffs if they can continue to play at this level.
