Vikings steal a
victory in Detroit
Recap: A sloppy
game came to a sloppy
end Sunday in Detroit.
After the Vikings and
Lions struggled through
four turnover-filled
quarters, Detroit kicker
Jason Hanson lined up
for a potential
game-winning 48-yard
field goal in the final
minute. The kick,
though, hooked wide. On
the ensuing drive,
Minnesota kicker Ryan
Longwell hit the upright
on his shot to win the
game from 52 yards.
The game went to
overtime, where the
Vikings won the toss.
Quarterback Brooks
Bollinger, who replaced
an injured Tarvaris
Jackson earlier in the
drive, fumbled a
third-down snap (the
10th total turnover of
the game). The Lions
capitalized on the good
field position, and
Hanson made good on his
second attempt, a game
winner from 37 yards
