Detroit’s remarkable comeback trend continues and now they are the leaders in the NFC North. Matt Prater kicked a 40-yard field goal as time expired giving the Lions a 16-13 win over the Vikings. The Lions seventh fourth-quarter, comeback win of the season snapped a first place tie with Minnesota and gave the Lions a season sweep over the Vikings. Prater’s game winner was set up by Darius Slay’s interception of Minnesota’s Sam Bradford with 30 seconds left. Prater also booted a 48-yard field goal that tied the score with 1:45 to play. The interception ruined what was a strong showing by Bradford who went 31-of-37 for 224 yards. The 6-5 Vikings drop into second place after winning their first five games of the season.

ECHL – Retired Fort Wayne radio broadcaster Bob Chase dies at 90
Bob Chase, a retired Fort Wayne radio broadcaster who was the longtime voice of the Fort Wayne Komets minor league hockey team, has died. He was 90. Friend and biographer Blake Sebring says Chase died Thursday at a Fort Wayne hospital. Chase retired in 2009 after 56 years with WOWO radio. The News-Sentinel reports Chase was born Robert Donald Wallenstein in Negaunee, Michigan. He adopted his wife’s maiden name, Chase, when he joined WOWO in 1953 because the program manager thought Wallenstein was too long. The Komets said in a statement Chase spent 63 seasons through last season calling games rink-side. General manager David Franke called Chase “a legend in every sense of the word.” Survivors include his wife of 66 years, Murph, one daughter and three sons.
