The Detroit Lions fell to 8-6 with a 41-34 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Here are grades for each position group based on performance in the Lions' Week 15 matchup against the Rams.

Detroit hasn't won consecutive games in more than two months, and its defense has become a liability over the last four.

The Detroit Lions finished game against LA Rams without their top 3 safeties and 2 of their top 3 cornerbacks, after Amik Robertson's hand injury.

Between the end of the second quarter through the third, the Rams scored 20 unanswered points to comeback and steal the win from the Lions. The Rams’ defensive front came alive in the second half and wrecked havoc on the Lions’ interior offensive line.

An odd coaching and officiating sequence happened in the first quarter of the Detroit Lions’ loss to the Los Angeles Rams. After the Rams completed a 23-yard pass all the way down the Lions’ 3-yard line, Detroit head coach Dan Campbell threw a challenge flag.

Maybe Dan Campbell knows the right Detroit Lions for a playoff push. He just doesn't have enough of them, not this season, at least.

The Detroit Lions know what it takes to compete with the best in the loaded NFC after a 41-34 loss to the conference-leading Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
