Lions

The Vikings beat the Lions 26-16 Sunday in Minnesota, as Detroit falls to 0-2.  Teddy Bridgewater threw for one touchdown and ran for another while finishing 14 for 18 for 153 yards and no turnovers. Detroit fell behind 14-0 early in the second quarter and netted just 38 yards rushing against a defense that surrendered 230 yards on the ground to the 49ers.  The Lions got back to within a touchdown catch by Calvin Johnson just before  the half.  But mistakes cost the Lions, especially in the second half.  Adrian Peterson had 192 total yards.  Peterson, playing in front of a pro-Vikings crowd for the first time in 658 days, rushed 29 times for 134 yards after receiving a pregame standing ovation.  The Lions host the Denver Broncos this Sunday night.

Nascar

Denny Hamlin gave Joe Gibbs Racing a victory in the opening round of NASCAR's playoffs by rallying from a disastrous start at Chicagoland Speedway.

Hamlin spun on the second lap Sunday and immediately fell a lap off the pace. He and his JGR team didn't panic, then used a gutsy call not to pit during the final caution to give Hamlin a shot at the victory.  He jumped from third to first on the restart with five laps remaining, and has now earned an automatic spot in the second round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.  In far worse position is reigning Sprint Cup champion Kevin Harvick, who hit the wall during the race and finished 42nd. He's now ranked last in the 16-driver field.

Golf

Jason Day had an easy win Sunday at the BMW Championship for his fifth win on tour this season.  It was his second in the FedEx Cup playoffs and vaulted him past Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy into the No. 1 spot in the world ranking.

The Australian zoomed out to a big lead by shooting 61 and 63 in the first two rounds and was never seriously challenged after that. His 22-under total tied for the second-lowest on tour this year and was good for a six-shot victory over rookie Daniel Berger. Scott Piercy finished third, seven strokes back.

Vicky Hurst locked up an LPGA Tour card for next season, winning the Garden City Charity Classic on Sunday for her second Symetra Tour title of the year.  The 25-year-old Hurst closed with an even-par 72 for a two-stroke victory, more than enough to wrap a spot in the final top 10 for an LPGA Tour card.
