#NBA Suns trade Scola to Pacers in 3-player deal http://dlvr.it/3jrjRc
Bush turned a short pass into a 77-yard touchdown in the third quarter and finished with 191 yards of offense to help Detroit pull away to beat the Minnesota Vikings 34-24 Sunday.
The Lions overcame a slew of miscues on offense, defense and special teams.
The Vikings also made their share of mistakes, especially Christian Ponder, who threw three interceptions and lost a fumble.
Adrian Peterson ran for a 78-yard TD on his first carry and scored on a 4-yard run to give Minnesota a 14-6 lead in the second. He finished with 93 yards rushing on 18 attempts.
At least on opening day, Bush was the speedy running back the Lions haven't had sinceJahvid Best had his career ended by concussions. Detroit released him this year because he hasn't been able to play since 2011.
Pettigrew fumbled on another drive in the second quarter before Ponder gave the ball back with another interception. The Lions made the most of the opportunity, thanks to a rule that went their way.
Bell leaped over a pile and extended his arms with the football that was jarred loose by the Vikings, but video review showed the ball got to the goal line. Bell's spinning, 1-yard run -- one play after Bush's TD was overturned by review -- in the third quarter gave the Lions their first lead and they rolled to a relatively easy win.
