2016 NFL Power Rankings Week 10: Arizona Cardinals
By Scott Allen
11. Detroit Lions 5-4 (18)
Another fourth quarter comeback in the books for the Lions. Quarterback Matthew Stafford lead another come from behind victory over the Vikings on Sunday.
The Vikings scored with just 23 seconds remaining in their game on Sunday to make people believe the game was over. They gave Stafford too much time.
One pass to the 40-yard line of the Vikings allowed the Lions to clock the ball with two second left. Kicker Matt Prated nailed a 58-yard field goal as time expired. Then receiver Golden Tate made a great move to stay in-bounds and score a touchdown in overtime for the win.
The Lions now sit just one-half game behind the Vikings for the NFC North lead. The Lions have a date at home with the Jaguars this Sunday. After that it is time for their annual Thanksgiving Day game at home. This year the opponent will be the Vikings. It will be interesting to see how that game unfolds given they just played each other Sunday.
