The Jaguars picked up a much-needed victory by outlasting the Raiders 30-29 in overtime. Kicker Cam Little not only set an NFL record with a 68-yard boot, but also tied the game with 16 seconds remaining.

nfl-week-9-recap-minnesota-vikings-27-detroit-lions-24

The Detroit Lions stumbled out of their bye week, falling 27-24 to the Minnesota Vikings in a mistake-filled divisional loss at Ford Field. Jared Goff threw a late touchdown to Jameson Williams, but a blocked field goal, a lost fumble by David Montgomery, and a dropped end-zone pass from Amon-Ra St. Brown proved costly. Minnesota’s blitz-heavy defense kept Goff off balance while J.J. McCarthy’s clutch third-down completion to Jalen Nailor sealed the Vikings’ win, dropping Detroit to 5-3.
