NFL game summary for 09/22/1974:

The Lions recovered a Vikings fumble on the opening kickoff and moved to a fourth-and-goal situation at the Minnesota 1-yard line but failed to score, and a pair of Errol Mann field goals were not enough to overcome Chuck Foreman's 11-yard touchdown run and Fred Cox's winning extra point. It marked the 13th consecutive Minnesota victory over Detroit. Foreman's touchdown was his fourth in two games.
