The Vikings took the ball to start the second half, and they moved down field well, but the Lions’ defense stiffened in the red zone.
The Vikings moved the ball 59 yards in 13 plays, but had to settle for a 31-yard field goal by Ryan Longwell to move their lead back to a touchdown.
With about seven and a half minutes left in the third quarter, the Vikings lead the Lions by a score of 17-10.
