Goff helps surging Lions beat division-leading Vikings 34-23

Associated Press  

DETROIT — Jared Goff dropped back behind an offensive line that gave him plenty of time and threw deep twice, taking advantage of big-play receivers the Detroit Lions added for him this season. Goff had a 41-yard pass to rookie Jameson Williams and a 48-yard pass to DJ Chark for two of his three touchdown throws in the first half, leading the surging Lions to a 34-23 win over the NFC North-leading Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. “But just across the board, not enough in the run game offensively and a pretty critical turnover.” IT’S TRICKY Goff gave Detroit a two-touchdown lead in the third quarter with a 5-yard pass to Josh Reynolds after Campbell called a fake punt from his 26. The banged-up offensive line took another hit in the fourth quarter when Blake Brandel left with a knee injury.. LB Jordan Hicks and CB Kris Boyd were also injured during the game.. CB Cameron Dantzler returned from a four-game absence on IR and seemed to get beat deep on Detroit’s touchdown passes in the first half.
