The missed 2 point conversion hurt the most. I knew that shit wasn't going to convert

[@pancake_ninja7964]

You guys did really well not mentioning that obvious push off on the Jefferson td.. really 2 push offs could of been called on him on that tudy

[@vikings_fans_anonymous]

It’s more frustrating bc the game was within their grasp.
But missed 2pt, overthrow on 3rd down, and Darnold wasted too much time on the 2nd to last throw.
But Detroit is damn good and they kept it close

[@williemclean3224]

I’ve been a fan since 1969, big game, big loss. Somethings never change.

[@michaelhatzinikolis8351]

[@williemclean3224]

Lions fan here, respect to the Vikings , great game. Oh and the Viking heritage in me hurts everytime I see skol, it's skål

[@harryschlitz4067]

Simple: we were 15 seconds away from winning.! SKOL...Thursday HAS TO BE A VICTORY AT LA.

[@mattm9958]

All of you are ridiculous. It was a 2 point loss to one of the best teams in the NFL. The Vikings weren't going to go 17-0. Enjoy a very good season so far in what was supposed to be a rebuilding year. I don't love when we lose either but these things happen, they'll bounce back we will continue to enjoy the ride. After all, at the beginning of the season if you were to be told the Vikings would be 5-1 to begin the season I don't think anyone would have complained.

[@pridemyselfwithnontrolling5230]

Yeah but the fact we lost to THEM pisses me off. Would have rather our first loss went to thr Texans or something

[@williemclean3224]

It was the same old thing against a better team. Penalties and bad defense for three consecutive lion scores.

[@rn2628]

No surprise...normal Vikings when they should win...you can have every offensive weapon and good defense..doesn't matter...

[@punisher5598]

This is just negatively for negative sake. You don’t win every game and the lions are elite.

[@rickjames4434]

lions never looked back from 14- 10 - this was not as close as the score - lions are clearly the better team even after we lost the probable defense player of the year - when we get defense end help we will be scary good - your little bubble just burst
