Rules guy said yes need to throw at a reciever at least, bad call should have been a safety
Vikings at Lions

Sam Darnold reminds me of Spencer Petras. Happy feet, no touch on the ball, zero pocket awareness, and a turnover waiting to happen.
Right. But the whole "receiver in the area" thing is moot if the ball is first touched by an ineligible receiver.
Counterpoint: The play-calling on that last drive was turrible.
Kick a dang field goal. Kirk Ferentz would be winning this game right now.
Anyone who thinks you're winning a superbowl with either of these two qbs is nuts. Not happening. It's a shame bc outside qb both teams have the talent and coaching, albeit Detroit's defense is shredded.
Darnold looks dazed. Not a good sign.
Yet they’ve both won 14 games?
Yeah, they've had terrible years, lol.
Such a good game. And I'm a Bears fan. Just enjoying good football.
Sorry your team sucks ass and Hill has already declared he is not coming back
This is a bad take. Both of these teams have had exceptional seasons and will be in the thick of it. Goff has been ridiculous this year. Both offenses are a tad off tonight.
I remember when they used to call the NFC north the black and blue division. This game is living up to the name.
Viking receivers getting mugged on every play. Refs can't call them all..
Why do I have to be a Iowa & Vikings fan?
This is brutal
This is brutal
Difference in this game is the QB. Goff getting the ball out quick on the blitzes and Darnold standing back there taking a beating without getting the damn ball out quickly. Amazing how Goff can read the blitz and throw into it quickly while Darnold looks totally lost.
Goff is proving himself as an elite QB this year.
This is glorious watching Viqueens self destruct
On the bright side, after the Vikings lose at the Rams (or Eagles if they sneak by the Rams), they’ll have realized Darnold isn’t worth a long-term deal. Best case scenario is to tag him for 2025.
The Lions’ defemse tonight has been superb, and I didn’t think I would be writing THAT about this game.
This was a weird game for 3 qtrs. These coaches who dont take the gimme field goals deserve to lose
Playoffs are different. You think either of those guys are beating mahomes or Allen when it counts? Nfw.
Yes, it’s a team game. I think both of these teams can compete with any team in the league.
Goff is great with a clean pocket and when everything is perfect. When it's not, he's bad. He plays like he did tonight vs Phili, KC or Buffalo they lose.
Elite qbs win when great teams play each other in high stakes games that's all I'm saying.
As a long time (65 years) Lions fan, I'm beyond happy right now. They need a week off. Too many injuries.
Dan Campbell is one hell of a leader. His leadership abilities are off the charts.

This. Definitely this.
Another difference was the coaching. Minnesota got bullied in to playing the Lions game. Going for it on 4th down. Trying to play fast. If they had just kicked field goals on 4th down and slowed the pace a little by doing so they would have taken the frenzy out of the crowd. 2nd half could have been a whole different game with a lead and some momentum. Coulda relied on their defense to win instead of a struggling (to put it lightly) quarterback.
