This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.

The Detroit Lions made their case Sunday that they’re the best team in the NFC North when they faced the Minnesota Vikings. It was a chaotic fourth quarter that saw Jared Goff throw a go-ahead, 7-yard touchdown pass to Jameson Williams.

Consequently, it handed the NFL’s last undefeated team its first loss. Even when it was over, Minnesota still was willing to fight for their undefeated record.

With no timeouts left, all Detroit had to do was kneel to end the game. However, the opposition wasn’t going to allow it to happen so easily.

Fight Breaks Out at End of Lions-Vikings Game as Lions Kneel for the Win

A brief skirmish broke out between the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings at the end of their game. It came as the Lions executed a victory formation.

With the Lions leading 19–15, Jared Goff took two consecutive kneel-downs to run out the clock. On the final kneel-down, Minnesota’s defensive players got physical through the whistle. Moreover, it ignited a post-play pushing match in the middle of the field. Commentators described it as a “nasty way to end the game.”

Despite the late-game drama, the Lions officially secured the 19–15 victory. Detroit improved to 5-2 while Minnesota fell to 6-1.
