Minnesota is 6-0 and a 3-point underdog in Detroit. Can the Vikings stay unbeaten on Nov 1?

The Detroit Lions beat the previously unbeaten Minnesota Vikings 19-15 at Ford Field on Nov. 1, 2026, handing Minnesota its first loss of the season. Lions quarterback Jared Goff threw a go-ahead, seven-yard touchdown pass to Jameson Williams with 4:35 remaining, capping a game in which running back Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for 153 yards. Minnesota's offense struggled throughout, managing just 266 total yards and converting only 3 of 10 third-down attempts, while Detroit's defense controlled the game's tempo in the fourth quarter.

Detroit improved to 5-2 with the win, its fifth in six games. The result capped a difficult divisional road trip for Minnesota and set up a Monday night matchup against Buffalo the following week.
