Game Notes

Vikings top the Rams the hard way, 23-21 in OT.

Minnesota becomes the first team to win in Sudden Death on a safety, as Mike Merriweather blocks Dale Hatcher's punt and it rolls through the back of the end zone to decide the game. The unusual ending caps a strange game.

The Vikings settle for 7 FGs by Rich Karlis, equaling an NFL record, after their offense stalls. Los Angeles rallies from an 18-7 deficit in the 4th quarter, going ahead on Greg Bell's 1-yard TD run with less than a minute left. However, after a kickoff out of bounds, Wade Wilson goes deep twice to Hassan Jones, connecting on the 2nd, setting up Karlis' 40-yard FG w/ :08 left.
