Lions have beaten the vikings 4 in a row. Longest stretch since 1961-63 according to espn. Heck isn't early 60's when Minnesota got a team ? I knew I hated Minnesota for a reason. We never could beat them much ever it seems.
What is crazy is the lions won the First 5 games in the series.
But we are 44-80-3 all time verses the team I hate the most the vikings. This 4 game winning streak is the 2nd longest streak against the vikings.

So the end of game, illegal formation penalty doesn't have a 10 second run off. That's something we need to tuck away in our back pocket potentially for the future. If time is running out and you have no time outs you don't need to wait for everyone to get to the line of scrimmage to snap and spike it. You just need the center and QB....everyone else could stand still behind the play and then it's just a 5 yard penalty but you'd still get another snap.

An update from Aidan Hutchinson himself.

I'm so glad the offense bailed out David Montgomery. He runs so hard and that was a great punch out by the Minnesota player. But David came back after he was hurt pretty bad in this game. Amazing toughness. Just so happy we won this game. This running back tandem is something. Great win .
Monty and Gibbs !
