Lions End Vikings' Perfect Run With 19-15 Win at Ford Field
Detroit handed Minnesota its first defeat of the season, 19-15, ending the Vikings' unbeaten start and the NFL's last perfect record.

The Detroit Lions ended the NFL's last unbeaten record on Sunday, beating the previously perfect Minnesota Vikings 19-15 at Ford Field. Minnesota arrived in Detroit at 6-0 as the league's final undefeated team, but left with a first defeat after a tense fourth quarter swung Detroit's way. The decisive moment came late, when quarterback Jared Goff found receiver Jameson Williams for a touchdown with 4:35 remaining to put the Lions back in front. Running back Sione Vaki had set the score up with consecutive runs of 12 and 10 yards to move Detroit to the Minnesota 25, and after Jahmyr Gibbs carried the Lions to the 7, Goff struck on the next play for Williams' fifth touchdown in his last three games. The Lions then held on through the final two minutes to seal the win. This result puts Detroit firmly in the Super Bowl conversation, while Minnesota's first loss shakes up the NFC North race and leaves no unbeaten team left in the league.
