Every team that plays Detroit has a nagging fear that they’re going to be the ones to end the Lions’ losing streak. Detroit played the Vikings well in the first half, getting to a 10-0 lead during the first half, before Minnesota could get their act together:
The Vikings left Ford Field on Sunday atop the NFC North with a 2-0 record. Both victories have come on the road, they have outscored opponents by 28 points and Brett Favre has yet to throw an interception.
So all is going according to plan in the land of Purple, right?
Not exactly.
Favre made that very clear after the Vikings rallied for a 27-13 victory over a Detroit Lions team that has lost 19 in a row, second-most in NFL history.
“To think that we can continue to win games that way, is not going to happen,” Favre said. “Detroit played hard, played well. I was worried.”
