McCarthy threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, while the Vikings sacked Jared Goff five times and pressured him relentlessly. The Vikings also had huge performances on special teams, including a blocked field goal by Levi Drake Rodriguez to set up a Will Reichard field goal that proved to be the difference in the final score.
The Vikings started today's game in Detroit with Myles Price's 61-yard return of the opening kickoff. Late in the game, the Vikings blocked a field goal and returned it 41 yards. In between, the Vikings' relentless pass rush pressured Lions quarterback Jared Goff all day.
Jared Goff knows he didn’t have a great game. The Detroit Lions quarterback wasn’t about to let coach Dan Campbell shoulder all the blame for Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
