Detroit Lions add touchdown but game is out of reach

Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson caught an 11-yard touchdown to cut the Vikings lead to 34-24, but there was only 1:53 left in the fourth quarter.

The Lions tried to recover an onside kick, but kicked it deep and weren’t close to recovering. They have two time outs remaining, but it looks like they’ll fall to 4-5.
