The Minnesota Vikings lost to the Detroit Lions in week 9, but what were the good, bad, and interesting things about the exciting overtime matchup?

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these game reviews. With many of the changes that were being put in place on The Viking Age, it seemed like efforts would be better used in other ways. However, for at least one week only, the Minnesota Vikings are going to get the good, bad, and interesting treatment.

This week, the Detroit Lions came to Minnesota in hopes of keeping the Vikings losing streak alive. Having lost to the Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears in the last two weeks, the boys in purple needed this game in order to get the team back on track.

But that wouldn’t be an easy, as the Lions have a new look offense and a defense that can make big plays.

Sadly, the Vikings ended up on the losing end of this game, suffering their third loss in a row However, the Lions needed overtime and some huge plays to put the Minnesota Vikings away 16-22.

Let’s talk about the good stuff, bad things, and interesting occurrences from the week 9 game, starting with the good stuff!
