What happened

Detroit escaped 19-15, though the margin felt thinner after K.Murray found J.Addison for 51 yards and T.Hockenson punched in the touchdown to make it a one-score fourth quarter. J.Gibbs' 30-yard touchdown run and D.Reed's 32-yard interception return did the heavy lifting, while J.Williams handed back 15 yards for taunting on his 46-yard catch. A win, technically, that left the fanbase relieved, furious at the Vikings, and wondering why every second half has to turn into this.
