question: The Vikes fell to 4-3 with a loss at home on Monday Night Football to the New England Patriots.

Kicker Stephen Gostkowski connected on a 23-yard field goal early in the second quarter. Brady threw his second of what would turn out to be four touchdown passes, this time to TE Benjamin Watson just before halftime to give the Pats a 17-0 lead.
