Detroit Lions wrapped up regular season with a win after beating Vikings
The Detroit Lions finished the regular season with a win over the Vikings.
Sam LaPorta caught a 2-yard touchdown pass midway through the first quarter, but later left the field with a knee injury. It was a nightmare for the NFC North champion Detroit Lions as they closed out the regular season with a 30-20 win over Minnesota. The Vikings are on Sunday.
Detroit (12-5) has a franchise winning record and is making its first playoff appearance since the 1993 season when they played in the Pontiac Silverdome.

The Lions will begin play next week with the hope that LaPorta, who set an NFL rookie receptions record with 86, is healthy enough to earn his second playoff victory.
