Vikings Defensive Line Dominates Detroit

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) ― Kevin Williams and the rest of Minnesota's defensive line has delivered a message to the rest of the league -- it's going to take a lot more than one-on-one to slow them down.

For the first time this season, Williams saw less than maximum protection from the opposing offense, this time from the winless Detroit Lions.

Williams had four of the team's six sacks in a dominating effort that picked up the slack once again for a sluggish offense in Minnesota's 12-10 victory.

First-time starter Dan Orlovsky was under heavy pressure all afternoon. It also led to a safety at the end of the first quarter, when Jared Allen burst through the line and then forced Orlovsky to forget where he was on the field and step out of bounds in the end zone for a safety.
