DETROIT — Jared Goff threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown as time expired, lifting the previously winless Detroit Lions to a 29-27 win over the Minnesota Vikings.

Goff led the Lions on a 75-yard decisive possession without a timeout after Kirk Cousins threw a go-ahead 3-yard touchdown pass to Justin Jefferson with 1:50 left.

The Vikings failed on a 2-point conversion for the third time. Those missed opportunities proved rather costly.

Seriously, does every #Vikings game have to play out like this?

This is like watching a car crash. It's so painful to watch, yet you cannot look away.
