Lions Eliminated After 23-10 Loss to Vikings on Christmas

Coach Dan Campbell responded to the turnover-laden loss by promising a top-to-bottom review.

Overview

  • Detroit fell 23-10 in Minneapolis, ending its playoff hopes and marking the franchise’s first postseason miss since 2022.
  • Quarterback Jared Goff accounted for five turnovers as the Lions finished with six giveaways, including two interceptions and multiple botched snaps.
  • Pro Bowler Amon-Ra St. Brown had eight receptions for 68 yards before exiting in the final minute with a knee injury that is still being evaluated.
  • Campbell said everyone shares responsibility for the slide and vowed a comprehensive assessment with general manager Brad Holmes to guide offseason decisions.
  • The loss also aided Green Bay’s playoff clinch, while Netflix’s Christmas broadcasts drew complaints about streaming quality and a criticized pregame segment.
