DETROIT — The Minnesota Vikings will have a lot of time to think when they fly to Los Angeles later this week. They can try to figure out how they let Sunday night's game against the Detroit Lions slip away, along with their chances at the NFC North title and the top seed in the NFC playoffs. Despite the lopsided 31-9 score, the Vikings outplayed the Lions for much of the night. They just couldn't finish drives. Minnesota got into the red zone four times and came away with six points. The team ran 11 plays inside the Lions 10 and didn't score a touchdown.
