A stunning home loss to the Minnesota Vikings — a rare happening in recent years — saw the Detroit Lions tumble down the board in this week’s power rankings roundup.

Favored by many outlets to win the Week 9 division showdown, the Lions fell 27-24 to the Vikings, dropping them to 1-2 in the NFC North and 5-3 overall.
