Lions slay Vikings, 16-14, move record to 10-4 atop the NFC North

Posted on December 14, 2014 by Ed Itor in Warren

The Detroit Lions moved another step closer to claiming their first division championship since 1993 with a come-from-behind 16-14 victory over the Minnesota Vikings at Ford Field Sunday evening. The win moves the Lions to 10-4 under first-year head coach, Jim Caldwell. Detroit now holds their division and playoff destiny in their hands, thanks to the Buffalo Bills 21-13 upset of the Green Bay Packers. But the Lions must win out on the road if they are to be NFC North champs. Next Sunday, they face the Chicago Bears (5-8) at Soldier Field and in Week 17, they will travel to Lambeau Field to face the Packers (10-4). The Lions have not won in Wisconsin since 1991.
