Lions head coach Dan Campbell dedicated the game ball to the victims of Tuesday's deadly shooting at Oxford High School in Michigan.

"This game ball goes to the whole Oxford community, all those who were affected," Campbell, for whom this was his first win as Lions head coach, told reporters.

He added: "Those names will never be forgotten and they're in our hearts and our prayers and all the families, not to mention all those that were affected."

Campbell wore an Oxford Wildcats shirt ahead of Sunday's game.

Goff said that he hoped the game would bring comfort to those affected by the shooting.

Several Vikings players also honored the victims of the shooting by wearing t-shirts displaying the school's logo during warmups before the game.

Both teams wore an Oxford-themed decal on their helmets during the game and the Lions also held a moment of silence ahead of kickoff.
