#DETROIT LIONS GAME WINNING TOUCHDOWN FULL#

Bank Stadium's east end zone, staring into a crowd that was again at full throat and wouldn't settle until well after Josh Metellus iced the game by intercepting Jared Goff's downfield heave. After the second throw, Osborn stood in U.S. Osborn for two 28-yard strikes - the Vikings' first two pass plays of more than 20 yards since Week 1. The offense roared to life, for two pass plays that O'Connell didn't have on his call sheet for the Lions game. 'I wanted to win this football game in front of our fans in regulation.'Īnd that's what the Vikings did, beating Detroit 28-24. 'I wanted to score a touchdown,' he said. The Eagles had outclassed them in a 24-7 victory Monday night, and on Sunday, the home fans who'd exulted over the Vikings' first victory booed O'Connell's team as the Lions built not one, but two double-digit leads in a game that threatened to send the Vikings overseas with a 1-2 record.īut after his defense got the stop it had to have, and his counterpart's fourth-down decision gave the Vikings a chance for at least a tying field goal with 1:10 left, O'Connell needed little time to deliberate about how he wanted to spend the game's final minute. Since then, they had not spent a single second with a lead. Two weeks ago, the Vikings were ahead of the Packers for all but nine minutes of Kevin O'Connell's first game as head coach.
