Game Notes

Vikings eek by the Lions 13-10.

Minnesota takes advantage of Detroit mistakes and holds off a late rally to win. The Vikings take a 3-0 lead on the final play of the 1st half after a late hit out-of-bounds by Luther Bradley sets up a 40-yard FG by Rick Danmeier with no time left.

Chuck Foreman's 2-yard TD run in the 3rd quarter gives Minnesota a 10-3 lead and Danmeier extends it with a 31-yard FG. The Lions pull within 13-10 on Jeff Komlo's 10-yard TD pass to Rick Kane w/ 2:40 left in the game, but the Vikings are able to prevent a further rally. Sammy White catches 6 passes for 100 yards for Minnesota.
