Lions start from their own 28 for their second drive, but it goes nowhere as a false start from LaPorta gets them into a third-and-15 as Williams loses two yards on a screen pass. Jack Fox comes out for the first punt today as it bounces forward before being downed at the Minnesota 36. (7:48)

Let’s get into my five takeaways from the disappointing loss against the Vikings.

Former Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy threw two touchdown passes in his third career start and the Lions struggled to sustain offensive possessions for the third straight game as the Vikings upset the Lions, 27-24, at Ford Field.

J.J. McCarthy, who led Michigan to a CFP title in 2023, has played one good quarter of football this season and faces the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
