Lack of Execution Hurts Vikings Defense in Detroit


Goff finished the day 27-of-39 passing for 330 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. His passer rating was 120.7, his third highest of the season thus far.

Chark led the Lions in receiving with 94 yards, followed by Amon-Ra St. Brown and Josh Reynolds, who added 68 and 51 yards through the air, respectively. Minnesota didn’t allow a single rusher to reach 50 yards but did give up 134 total yards on the ground.

When all was said and done, the Vikings allowed Detroit to rack up 464 yards.

“That’s our job on defense, is to stop the offense, and I don’t feel like we did our job today,” Kendricks said. “Can we hang our hat on some of the stuff we did? Maybe. But overall, we’ve got to do better. We’ve gotta go back to the drawing board.”

Kendricks also bemoaned a lack of Vikings takeaways.

“You’ve just gotta get back on the ball and get to it. Obviously, we want to create some more turnovers than we did today,” he said. “We know they like to go for it on fourth down, we knew that coming into it, but yeah, those third-and-long situations – we’ve got to do better, for sure.”
