J.J. McCarthy was back at quarterback for the Vikings after missing five games with a high right ankle sprain, and they looked like a whole new team in a 27-24 win over the Lions in Detroit. McCarthy completed 14 of 25 passes for 143 yards and two touchdowns with just one interception, and also added a touchdown on the ground. The Vikings defense sacked Jared Goff five times and limited the Lions’ running back tandem of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs to 65 yards. The Vikings (4-4) ended a five-game losing streak to the Lions (5-3) and won at Ford Field in Detroit for the first time since the 2020 season.
