Vikings End Half With a Rather Casual Hail Mary

Hail Marys should be difficult. Teams know they’re coming so they can pack the end zone and establish position ahead of the receivers. You have to actually defend the incoming pass, however, and the Detroit Lions forgot this important wrinkle just before halftime on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. Tight end Kyle Rudolph didn’t even have to jump to catch Kirk Cousins’ desperate heave, and the Vikings took a 14-9 lead into the locker room.
