The Minnesota Vikings pulled out a thrilling 28-24 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 3. They overcame at 14-0 first half deficit and a 24-14 second half deficit. The only score that matters is the one at the end of the game. It was a big, division win. Here are some of the players that helped make it possible.
Offensive Player of the Game
K.J. Osborn, WR
K.J. Osborn gets the nod over Adam Thielen, the offensive line, and Dalvin Cook on the basis of his two big catches on the game-winning drive. The first was a 28-yard catch that put the Vikings in position to strike from the Lions 28-yard line. The second was the 28-yard touchdown that won the game. That’s a lot of 28s to make the score 28.
Defensive Player of the Game
Josh Metellus, S
I’m giving this to Josh Metellus for his solid game in place of Harrison Smith. He made tackles that he was supposed to make. He had the interception that sealed the game with seconds to play.
Special Teams Player of the Game
Ryan Wright, P
I’d like to give the special teams award to Brian Asamoah for his terrific tackle on a kick return. I can’t. Rookie punter Ryan Wright keeps booting the ball 50 yards and flipping field position.
