Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff threw a go-ahead touchdown pass to Jameson Williams, leading Detroit to a 19-15 victory over the previously undefeated Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night. The win snapped Minnesota's perfect start to the season, handing the Vikings their first loss.

Goff's decisive connection with Williams came in the fourth quarter, putting the Lions ahead for good in a tightly contested NFC North matchup. The Vikings had entered the game without a defeat, making the result a significant early-season statement for Detroit.

The Associated Press reported the game concluded with the Lions securing the four-point margin, improving their own record while ending Minnesota's unbeaten run.
