Lions win 4 straight to end season; Favre didn't play
Brett Favre the three-time MVP quarterback, who was inactive with a concussion, was on the field briefly as his Minnesota Vikings teammates desperately tossed laterals to each other before running out of time and hope as the Detroit Lions won 20-13.
When the game ended, Favre jogged diagonally across the turf—waving once toward Detroit’s sideline—and up a ramp toward the locker room.
The Lions (6-10) tripled last season’s win total by closing with four straight victories in their best finish since 1995.
Minnesota opened the season with Super Bowl hopes, but week after week of team turmoil took its toll, especially on the 41-year-old Favre.
Maurice Morris scored on a 4-yard run with 9:29 left to give the Lions a 10-point cushion that the Vikings cut to seven on Ryan Longwell’s 48-yard field goal with 1:55 left. Joe Webb was 20 of 32 for 148 yards with an interception, an ill-advised pass across the field in Detroit territory, that led to the Lions taking a 3-0 lead on Dave Rayner’s career-long 55-yard field goal.
The Vikings were held scoreless until defensive end Jared Allen, dropping into coverage, returned an interception with 6:03 left in the third quarter.
Webb helped them pull within three early in the fourth.
Nate Burelson, who caught a TD pass against his former team, recovered an onside kick that allowed Detroit to run almost all the time off the clock.
Lions!
I do think the Lions will do well next year, these four wins straight gave me hope. You guys at indbeat.forumotion.com have done a great job. Keep it up
