DETROIT - It took a final drive with no less than a touchdown needed for Detroit to win their first game of the NFL season.
Ending the league's longest winless streak, the Lions topped the Minnesota Vikings 29-27 after needing a come-from-behind drive after blowing a double-digit lead.
After jumping to a 20-6 lead at halftime, it looked like Dan Campbell would earn his first victory as the Lions' head coach.
But Kirk Cousins almost took that away after giving the Vikings a 27-23 lead late in the 4th quarter.
With only 1:50 remaining, Jared Goff drove the length of the field and tossed a 9-yard pass to rookie Amon-Ra St Brown for a touchdown and the lead as time expired.
