In the second quarter, Minnesota increased its lead with kicker Ryan Longwell getting a 30-yard field goal.  Afterwards, Oakland would take the lead as Culpepper completed a 10-yard TD pass to TE John Madsen, along with Janikowski kicking a 30-yard field goal.  The Vikings would answer with Taylor getting a 38-yard TD run.  Fortunately, the Raiders would tie the game heading into halftime as Janikowski kicked a 42-yard and a 49-yard field goal. In the third quarter, Minnesota regained the lead with Longwell kicking a 38-yard field goal for the only score of the period.  In the fourth quarter, the Vikings ended its scoring day with Taylor getting a 6-yard TD run.  Oakland tried to come back as Janikowski nailed a 52-yard field goal.
