Lions’ Dan Campbell Wants His Team ‘Locked in’ as Detroit Tries to Avoid Going From First to Worst

On Thursday, the Detroit Lions were eliminated after a 23-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, clinching at least a wild-card berth for the Green Bay Packers.
Turnovers decided the outcome as the Vikings forced six giveaways, with Jared Goff charged with three lost fumbles—two from snaps by backup center Kingsley Eguakun—and two interceptions.
Jordan Addison's 65-yard touchdown with 3:43 left sealed the game, while Harrison Smith had an interception and sack, and Max Brosmer helped set up Will Reichard's three field goals despite seven sacks.
The Lions fell to 8-8 and have lost three straight, as Week 18 features Detroit hosting Chicago and Minnesota hosting Green Bay on Jan. 3 or 4.
Despite recent titles and a 15-win season, the Detroit Lions entered the week with only eight turnovers but committed six amid injuries and lineup changes including Max Brosmer and Kingsley Eguakun.
