Receiver Golden Tate scored the game-winning touchdown in overtime as the Lions beat Minnesota on Sunday.

Matthew Stafford has done it again. The Detroit Lions quarterback displayed last minute heroics during yesterday’s road game against the Minnesota Vikings. We chat with Current Sports host Al Martin.

The Detroit Lions are one game over .500 and sit in second place of the NFC North division. At number one is the Minnesota Vikings, a team that suffered heartbreak at the hands of the Honolulu Blue and Silver yesterday afternoon. Matthew Stafford led his team down field for another, game-winning drive, in overtime.

Current Sports host Al Martin joins us to talk about the magic of the Lions. We also dive into the college football scene of MSU and Michigan, two programs trending in opposite directions.

Al Martin is the host of Beyond the Score, a new series coming to WKAR in the fall of 2024. Al is also sports reporter for WKAR news.
