It was deja vu all over again, in the words of Yogi Berra. The Detroit Lions fell, 19-17, to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5 on a last-second field goal in U.S. Bank Stadium.
It’s the exact same score and outcome as the Lions Week 3 loss to Baltimore. This kick was only from 54 yards from Vikings kicker Greg Joseph, who had earlier missed short at the same goal from just 49 yards.
The Lions defense fought valiantly and was able to make some key plays. The offense ran well but struggled to seriously threaten the Vikings defense down the field all afternoon.
Detroit falls to 0-5 while the Vikings improve to 2-3.
