premise:  Trying to snap a three-game losing skid, the Lions flew to the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome for a Week 13 NFC North rematch with the Minnesota Vikings.  In the first quarter, Detroit trailed early as Vikings RB Chester Taylor managed to get a 2-yard TD run.  The Lions would get on the board with kicker Jason Hanson nailing a 37-yard field goal.  In the second quarter, Minnesota replied with RB Adrian Peterson scoring a TD, but Detroit would respond with QB Jon Kitna completing a 1-yard TD pass to TE/FB Casey Fitzsimmons.  However, the Vikings immediately began a pounding with WR Aundrae Allison returning the kickoff 103 yards for a touchdown, while QB Tarvaris Jackson completed a 6-yard TD pass to WR Bobby Wade, along with a 2-yard TD pass to WR Sidney Rice.  In the third quarter, Minnesota ended its day with Peterson getting a 13-yard TD run for the only score of the half.
hypothesis: 12 points were scored in the first quarter
