Lions Eliminated After Six-Turnover 23–10 Loss to Vikings

A takeaway-fueled win by Minnesota leaves Detroit facing an offseason audit from Dan Campbell.

Overview

  • Detroit fell to 8-8 with the Christmas Day defeat in Minneapolis, a result that also clinched a playoff berth for the Green Bay Packers.
  • The Lions committed six turnovers, with Jared Goff accounting for five on two interceptions and three lost fumbles.
  • Minnesota won its fourth straight behind a defense that produced five sacks and limited the passing game while rookie Max Brosmer threw for 51 yards.
  • Jordan Addison’s 65-yard end-around touchdown with 3:43 remaining effectively sealed the game for the Vikings.
  • Detroit has lost three straight and dropped to 1-4 in the NFC North, and Campbell said he will look at “a lot of things” after turnovers derailed the team’s late push.
