Lions Clinch NFC North as Jahmyr Gibbs' 4 TDs Thrill NFL Fans in Win vs. Vikings

In a battle for NFC supremacy on Sunday Night Football, the Detroit Lions came out on top.

The Lions took down the Minnesota Vikings by the final score of 31-9, clinching the No. 1 seed in the conference and a first-round bye to go along with an NFC North title.

Jahmyr Gibbs was unstoppable throughout the contest, picking up 139 rush yards and 31 receiving yards on 28 touches. He scored four total touchdowns, setting a new Lions single-season record with 20 trips to the end zone.

Gibbs' 20 touchdowns are also the most in the NFL this season.

Fans were amazed by his stellar performance.

Jared Goff threw multiple interceptions for the first time since Week 10, finishing 27-of-33 for 231 yards and a touchdown while getting picked off twice.

Detroit's defense stifled Minnesota, as the Vikings recorded 262 total yards and picked up just 14 first downs. They were also held to a single-digit scoring total for the first time this season.

Sam Darnold was only sacked twice, but his accuracy was affected as he routinely dealt with pressure from the Lions' defensive front. Darnold finished with a mere 166 yards through the air despite attempting 41 passes, completing only 43.9 percent of his throws.

The Vikings are still headed to the playoffs as the No. 5 seed and are now set to face off against the Los Angeles Rams.

Meanwhile, Detroit will head into a first-round bye while preparing to host its next opponent in the divisional round.
