Despite huge performance from Matthew Stafford, Lions cannot contain Vikings offense
The Vikings exploded for 28 points in the first half, fueled by two 90+ yard receiving days from Percy Harvin and recently acquired Victor Cruz. Adrian Peterson had another huge day, adding 2 more touchdowns to an already outstanding year. The defense struggled for the first time this year against the high powered offense. They managed to contain Calvin Johnson until the 4th quarter when he caught a 70 yard bomb that put the Lions back in the game. But the Vikings defensive line sacked Stafford 3 times on the drive to bring an end to any comeback hopes. The Vikings go to 3-1, while the Lions fall to 2-2.
