DETROIT -- Sam Bradford had spent much of the game throwing short, crisp passes.It didnt necessarily make for exciting football, but that low-risk approach enabled the Minnesota quarterback to avoid sacks and turnovers.Then his final throw was intercepted, setting up Detroits winning field goal.I think their corner just made a really good play. Id like to have it back, Bradford said.Bradford went 31 of 37 on Thursday, and that late interception was his only turnover, but the Vikings lost 16-13 .Their attempts to move the ball with quick, short passes didnt lead to many points, and Bradford threw for only 224 yards on all those completions.Minnesota receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) was out, and nobody else emerged as much of a big-play threat.Weve probably got to try to find a way to create some explosive plays, Bradford said.Its hard when you are only picking up five, six, seven at a time. Theres things that we can do to try to figure out how we can create some more explosive plays.The interception in the final minute by Darius Slay was only the third of the season thrown by Bradford, who has completed 71 percent of his passes. But hes averaging only 6.9 yards per attempt.With the game tied at 13, the Vikings (6-5) took over at their 25 with 1:45 remaining. As he had all game, Bradford threw short, finding Kyle Rudolph for 5 yards and Cordarrelle Patterson for 3.After letting the clock run for a while, Minnesota appeared to have picked up a first down on another short throw, but an illegal formation penalty left the Vikings facing third-and-7. That was when Slay stepped up in coverage and intercepted Bradford, giving the Lions (7-4) the ball with 30 seconds left.On what looked like a safe pass for Bradford, Slay created a turnover with an aggressive move.Hes kind of got a knack for it, Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. Hes one of those guys too thats a bit of a riverboat gambler. Hell take a chance when he sees its there. Hell go after it.Minnesotas inability to throw deep cost the Vikings earlier in the fourth quarter as well. They had the ball deep in Detroit territory, but a penalty pushed the ball back to the 25 on first down. Bradford completed three straight passes -- for 4, 5 and 6 yards -- and Minnesota settled for a field goal.On his teams next drive, Bradford completed a 2-yard pass on third-and-3, and the Vikings punted. The Lions drove for the tying field goal.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister Glenn Anderson Jersey . -- Jaye Marie Green shot a 4-under 68 on Thursday to increase her lead to five strokes after the second round of the LPGA Tours qualifying tournament.

"Martyn is a highly-respected coach with experience at the top levels in England," said Whitecaps FC head coach Carl Robinson.Arsene Wenger insists he is confident that Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez will sign new contracts this summer, no matter where the Gunners finish this season. Ahead of their clash with Watford at the Emirates on Saturday, Arsenal are 11 points shy of Premier League leaders Leicester with eight games to go, and clear of sixth place by just three points.Ozil signed a five-year deal when he joined from Real Madrid in 2013 while Sanchez signed a four-year deal from Barcelona in 2014. And Wenger said: That will be done in the break, in the summer. There is nothing [at the moment].I am confident they are happy and would want to stay. They have two years left on their contracts. They look happy. When I talk to them they are happy and they want to extend their contracts so I dont think it is a problem. Arsene Wenger is confident Sanchez will sign a new contract this summer Wenger did confirm, however, that he will speak privately to Ozil after the midfielder appeared to concede defeat in their push for the Premier League title in an interview on international duty this week.Speaking to German sports website Spox.com, Ozil said: We have to be honest and admit that we mucked it up ourselves.Wenger insists his squad must not give up their belief in the title until it is mathematically impossible and said: We will talk about that yes, of course. Wenger is only focusing on the next game and refuses to rule out winning the title The statement is not welcome because we have to believe, no matter if it just one chance in 100.dddddddddddd We only have a real chance if we believe.You want to be fair and honest, but you want to look forward as well. The worst thing for us would be not to believe and then, if we had a good run, it was available or possible. Wenger will speak to Ozil over his comments to a German website The worst thing in life is to have the wrong beliefs. You have to make sure that you give your best and, at the end, accept that if somebody is better than you that you have given your best.I believe that we have to make sure that we play with passion until the end. That is the best way to get the supporters behind us. I will make sure they dont feel [like they have given up on the title]. Also See: Arsenal video Arsenal fixtures Get a ￡10 free bet!
