Darius Slay makes a huge play as Detroit steps closer to first division title since 1993
The Detroit Lions don’t have a ton of great memories on Thanksgiving, especially in recent years … or recent decades. Slay had an enormous interception off Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford with 30 seconds left in a tie game and returned it to Minnesota’s 20-yard line, setting up Matt Prater’s game-winning 40-yard field goal as time expired. The 16-13 win puts the 7-4 Lions in sole possession of first place in the NFC North, clinches the head-to-head tiebreaker over the 6-5 Vikings and puts Detroit in position to win its first division title since 1993, when the NFC North was the NFC Central.
