For the second game in a row, the Minnesota Vikings have found themselves on life support in the fourth quarter. Yesterday against the Green Bay Packers, the Vikings football team led by quarterback Daunte Culpepper tied the game after driving his unit for the straight touchdowns. Yet for the second football game in a row, the Vikings lose 34-31, because of a game winning field goal by Ryan Longwell of the Green Bay Packers.

In the previous game, November 8, 2004, Culpepper and the Minnesota Vikings saw their comeback attempts thwarted by a Mike Vanderjagt's field goal of the Indianapolis Colts with two seconds remaining in the football game. The final score was 31-28.

Obviously not having wide receiver Randy Moss has hurt Minnesota in recent weeks. However it is also the defense that has let them down, in regards to giving the offense a chance to win in overtime. The team will have to get it together soon if they are serious about making and doing well in the NFL playoffs.
