Lions Eliminated After Six-Turnover Loss to Vikings on Christmas Day

Six giveaways, five by Jared Goff, turned a preseason favorite toward an offseason reckoning for Dan Campbell.

Overview

  • Detroit fell 23-10 in Minneapolis to drop to 8-8 and was knocked out of playoff contention, a result that also clinched a postseason berth for Green Bay.
  • Minnesota won despite minimal passing production, finishing with three net passing yards as a late 65-yard Jordan Addison end-around sealed the game.
  • Jared Goff went 18-for-29 for 197 yards with one touchdown, two interceptions and three lost fumbles, accounting for five of Detroit’s six giveaways while being sacked five times.
  • Rookie Max Brosmer started for the injured J.J. McCarthy and completed 9 of 16 passes for 51 yards as the Vikings earned their fourth straight victory.
  • Dan Campbell said he will “look at a lot of things” after turnovers derailed a team that has lost three straight and fallen to 1-4 against the NFC North.
