What happened

The S.LaPorta touchdown to open the game and his 17-yard catch in the fourth had Detroit positioned to put this away, but a blocked J.Bates field goal recovered by MIN-I.Rodgers flipped the field and the game with it. Coming off a bye, the offense looked unprepared and the play-calling in the final two minutes has the fanbase ready to fire John Morton into the sun. Losing at home to J.McCarthy is the kind of result that lingers.
