Goff led the Lions on a 75-yard decisive possession without a timeout after Kirk Cousins threw a go-ahead 3-yard touchdown pass to Justin Jefferson with 1:50 left.
The Vikings failed on a 2-point conversion for the third time.
Those missed opportunities proved costly.
Feels good to get the dub 😁#OnePride pic.twitter.com/AokhzFhmWZ
