Goff throws go-ahead touchdown pass to Williams and Lions beat Vikings 19-15 for their 1st loss

Detroit's Jared Goff threw a crucial 7-yard touchdown pass to Jameson Williams with 4:35 remaining in the game, giving the Lions a 19-15 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. This marked the Lions' first loss of the season and the Vikings' first since November 30, 2025. All-Pro linebacker Jack Campbell was hospitalized with a neck injury after a tackle, leading to a subdued celebration by the Lions.

The Lions' defense held the Vikings to a three-and-out possession and featured a strong rushing game, contributing 164 yards in the second half for a total of 230 yards. The Vikings, despite having all three timeouts, couldn't prevent a late lead and didn't capitalize on their chance to stay unbeaten.
