A pair of kick returns for TDs doom Lions in loss to Vikings Bilde?NewTbl=1&Site=C4&Date=20120930&Category=SPORTS01&ArtNo=209300806&Ref=PH&Item=9&Maxw=640&Maxh=410&q=60

Percy Harvin returned the opening kickoff 105 yards and Marcus Sherels ran back the first punt of the second half 77 yards for a score that helped the Minnesota Vikings to a 20-13 win over the Detroit Lions. Detroit became the first team since at least 1940 to give up a kickoff and a punt return for touchdowns in consecutive games, according to STATS LLC. The Lions allowed scores on a kickoff and punt in last week's 44-41 loss in overtime at Tennessee.

Minnesota's Adrian Peterson had 102 yards on 21 carries, but the Lions' defense kept the Vikings' offense out of the end zone for the entire game and have given up only two touchdowns in the past two games.

Matthew Stafford went 30-of-51 for 319 yards, but his receivers dropped passes and was allowed to get sacked five times after giving up just four sacks combined in the first three games.

The Lions will have a bye week and return to action on Sunday, October 14 as they pay a visit to Philadelphia to face the Eagles.
