A questionable pass interference penalty on Leigh Bodden put Minnesota’s woeful offense in position for a 26-yard field goal by Ryan Longwell with nine seconds to go that lifted the Vikings to a 12-10 victory Sunday, keeping the Lions winless on the season.
Detroit (0-5) seemed to outplay the Vikings for the entire game in a spirited effort, but the Vikings (3-3) got a boost from a call by a field judge.
Trailing 10-9 in the final three minutes, the Vikings had a second-and-20 from their 32. Gus Frerotte threw deep down the sideline for Aundrae Allison, and the ball fell incomplete. But the official whistled cornerback Leigh Bodden for pass interference despite what appeared to be minimal contact.
