Quarterback Jared Goff hit rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa with a four-yard touchdown pass that made it 7-7 with 1:05 left to play in the first half. It was TeSlaa's fourth touchdown catch in the last five games.

It included a pair of fourth-down conversion runs by running back David Montgomery, including one that led to an unsuccessful challenge of a spot by Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell. The Vikings got their touchdown after linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel fell on a fumbled snap on the Detroit 16-yard line.
