With three minutes to play Sunday afternoon, the Lions were on the verge of doing something good.
Like getting their fourth win of the season.
Like getting their first road win in three seasons.
Like winning. Period.
And just that quickly -- within a span of 39 seconds and two Joey Harrington interceptions -- it all came unraveled as the Vikings left the Lions reeling with a mind-numbing 24-14 loss at the Metrodome.
Minnesota's Aaron Elling broke the 7-7 tie with a 24-yard field goal with 2:45 to play.
Safety Corey Chavous scored on a 32-yard interception return 19 seconds later.
Cornerback Brian Williams scored on a 42-yard interception return 20 seconds after that.
