Neither Renee or I had been to Ford Field before tonight, so it was nice to soak in some of the details of the stadium. The location is great, sitting in a in a "district" setup with Comerica Park. There's some nice vintage Lions imagery around the concourse at the main interest, including this fantastic neon sign.

Ah, the Detroit Lions did it again. Victory was seemingly in hand...until it wasn't. In the last minute I mentally prepared for overtime, assuming they would hold the Vikings to a game-tying field goal.
Nope. A defensive breakdown left a recover wide open in end zone to give Minnesota, with the extra point, a four point lead with forty-five seconds left.
So there's a chance, right? Yes, there was, indeed, a chance. The Lions even seemed to start a March down the field, but then it sputtered. And then it died when quarterback Jared Goff inexplicably pulled the trigger on the Hail Mary on third down, with time left on the clock for another play. Needless to say his pass was intercepted at the goal line, killing any chance the Lions had at winning.
Ah, yes, the Lions did it again.
