The last unbeaten team in the NFL lost on Sunday. The Detroit Lions defeated the Minnesota Vikings 19-15 at Ford Field, snapping the Vikings' winning streak that dated back to their loss in Seattle on Nov. 30, 2025.
Detroit took the lead with 4:35 remaining in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Jared Goff completed a seven-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jameson Williams. That score put the Lions ahead for good. The win improved Detroit's record to 5-2 and gave them a three-game winning streak. They also secured their first two divisional victories in the NFC North this season.
Running back Jahmyr Gibbs powered the Detroit offense. He rushed for 153 yards and scored on a 30-yard run in the third quarter. Goff completed 18 of 25 passes for 176 yards. He also threw his first interception of the season.
Minnesota's Kyler Murray threw for 210 yards on 17 of 29 completions. He recorded two touchdowns and one interception. The Vikings managed only 81 rushing yards. Their defense, which had allowed the fewest points in the league, could not hold the lead in the final minutes.
Vikings linebacker Jack Campbell suffered a neck injury during the fourth quarter. Medical staff placed him on a backboard and transported him to a hospital on a cart. The Vikings drop to 6-1 with the result.
