The NFL record streak without allowing a pass touchdown, since the 1970 merger, is seven games. The Vikings can tie that record on Thursday against the Lions, but they'll have to snap Jared Goff's 21-game streak with a touchdown pass in order to do so.

Detroit Lions next game will be on Christmas Day vs Minnesota Vikings, one of 3 NFL games on Christmas. Here's start time, TV channel and streaming.

The Vikings (7-8) shut down rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart and the Giants (2-13). New York finished with a meager 141 yards of offense, by far its lowest total of the season. Minnesota sacked Dart five times and intercepted him once, as the 22-year-old finished with just 33 yards on 7-of-13 passing.

What more is there to say about the New York Giants, whose losing streak has now extended to nine games? This is a team for whom the best thing that can happen is for the season to end.

Jaxson Dart had his worse game as a pro, as the sloppy New York Giants fell to the Minnesota Vikings, 16-13, in what was a flag and injury fest.

J.J. McCarthy ran for a touchdown before leaving with an injury to his throwing hand, but backup Max Brosmer helped the Vikings top the Giants 16-13 on Sunday.

The Vikings were headed to New Jersey but had to turn around when their plane experienced mechanical issues that required a return to the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport.

Vikings center Ryan Kelly was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Giants with a concussion. That's always concerning for any player, but particularly so with Kelly. This is now his third concussion of the 2025 season and the sixth documented one of his NFL career.
