8:53 -- Minnesota does nothing with the turnover, yet another stand by the Detroit defense. But after getting the ball back, the Lions stall out after picking up one first down. Vikings have the ball back at their own one-yard line after an incredible 70-yard punt from Jack Fox.

The Detroit Lions’ comeback efforts came up short as the Pittsburgh Steelers secured a 29-24 win, capped off by an offensive pass interference call on wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.

The Lions host the Steelers and longtime foe Aaron Rodgers in a crucial game for two teams trying to earn spots in the postseason.

The Vikings beat the Lions because of their defense. Brian Flores' unit, which entered the game having gone seven straight weeks without allowing a passing touchdown, dominated. The Vikings forced five turnovers. They shut down Detroit's run game, and quarterback Jared Goff looked flustered.
