What’s being said nationally after Lions hand Vikings their first loss

The anticipated clash between the top two teams of the NFC North did not disappoint, with Detroit Lions beating the Minnesota Vikings 31-29 in a thrilling back-and-forth victory.

Detroit moves into first place in the division with the win, owning the tiebreaker over the previously unbeaten Vikings. There was nothing easy about its win, though. The Lions fell into an early 10-0 hole on the road, and things were looking sloppy and lost off the bat. But they stormed back quickly, with Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jahmyr Gibbs leading the way.
