The Minnesota Vikings beat the Detroit Lions by a score of 28-24 in what was truly a wild clunker.
After both teams missed field goals, it was a game of streaks. The Lions scored 14 with the Vikings doing the same right before halftime ended tied. In the second half, it happened again with the Lions scoring 10 and the Vikings came roaring back to score the final 14 points to win the game.
In doing so, the Vikings achieved a feat that they had only accomplished one other time in team history. That was in 1979 against the Chicago Bears.

In that game, the Bears got up 14-3 in the second quarter and 27-17 in the fourth quarter before Tommy Kramer ended up leading a come-from-behind victory over their black and blue division foes.
For all of the flaws that Kirk Cousins has, this is the second time that he has accomplished a rare feat with the first time coming in 2019 when he led a 20-point comeback against the Denver Broncos.

While the Vikings still have a lot of the same issues, this isn’t the same team as it was last year.
