BISMARCK, N.D. (MSU) – Minot State heavyweight Jake Swirple kept his collegiate career perfect and Kelby Armstrong remained unbeaten on the season as both picked up a win Sunday in a non-conference dual at NSIC rival the University of Mary. Those were the lone victories on the day for Minot State, though, as the Beavers lost their first dual of the season, 25-6 to the Marauders. Minot State (3-1 duals) now is off until after the new year when they wrestle at the Western Colorado Open in Gunnison, Colorado, on January 6. Swirple moved to 6-0 this season and 20-0 in his collegiate career with a 2-1 decision over Mary’s Luke Tweeton in their 285-pound match. Armstrong added the other Beaver victory in his 159-pound match, earning a 4-3 decision over Leo Mushinsky.

VIKINGS-LIONS
 
DETROIT (AP) — Jared Goff threw for 330 yards and three touchdowns, leading the surging Detroit Lions to a 34-23 win over the NFC North-leading Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings needed a win or tie to clinch the division title. Kirk Cousins threw for 425 yards, including a franchise-record 223 to Justin Jefferson on 11 catches. But Dalvin Cook ran for just 23 yards on 15 carries, and Minnesota couldn’t stop Goff. Cook’s 1.5 yards per carry were the fewest in a game with at least 10 attempts in his career. Cook, who entered averaging 77.3 yards per game, was unable to get unleashed against a Lions defense which is ranked last in the league. Detroit has won five of six, its best stretch since its last postseason appearance in 2016. The Lions invested a lot to give Goff deep-play threats this season, signing DJ Chark in free agency and trading up to draft Jameson Williams 12th overall. The moves finally paid off against Minnesota.
