Justin Jefferson and Aaron Jones scored touchdowns for the Vikings' offense. Sam Darnold was mostly solid outside of an interception in the first half that led to one of the Lions' scores, but he couldn't connect with Jefferson on a key third down late in the game.

After the Vikings defense forced a three-and-out, sacking Goff on third down for emphasis, the offense needed to sustain a drive with 4:16 left. But the Vikings went three-and-out, too. On third-and-4, Darnold overthrew Justin Jefferson and they had to punt. Given more than two minutes and needing only a field goal to win, Goff delivered.

The Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings battled for NFC North supremacy in US Bank Stadium in Week 7 in a key midseason matchup that absolutely lived up to the hype. After falling behind 10-0 early, the Lions roared to life and then held on for a thrilling 31-29 road win.
