The Vikings beat the Lions because of their defense. Brian Flores' unit, which entered the game having gone seven straight weeks without allowing a passing touchdown, dominated. The Vikings forced five turnovers. They shut down Detroit's run game, and quarterback Jared Goff looked flustered.

Minnesota responded to New York's nine-minute drive with its own time-consuming drive. The Vikings ran 14 plays for 57 yards, taking 6:51 off the clock. They settled for a 30-yard field goal from Reichard, taking a 16-13 lead with 4:15 to play in the fourth quarter.
