Misery Index · Uneasy
Lions fans won 19-15 and spent it praying over a stretcher and cursing the Vikings for slugging J.Goff.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings
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.
