Sunday’s game was a return to form for the Lions, who were the Super Bowl favorite for large portions of the 2024 regular season. But with injuries mounting and some uninspiring defensive performances as of late, expectations for the Lions had started to slide. That came to a head when Detroit was handled thoroughly by the Buffalo Bills in a big Week 15 game.
However, against the Minnesota Vikings, the Lions looked like the Lions of old. Detroit’s defense made a statement performance, holding the ninth-ranked Vikings offense out of the end zone for the entire night—including a whopping three goal-line stops. Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold was held to his fewest passing yards on the season (166), while Justin Jefferson’s 54 receiving yards was his third-lowest output of the year.
And while the Lions struggled on offense early, they still managed to hang 31 points on Brian Flores’ vaunted defense that allowed an average of just 19.5 points per game this year.
The Detroit Lions are back.
