Recap: Minnesota vs. Baltimore
By Sports Network
Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - Ryan Longwell converted all four of his field goals for Minnesota, his final one -- a 31-yarder -- with 1:56 remaining in regulation proved to be the difference and lifted the Minnesota Vikings to a thrilling 33-31 victory over the Baltimore Ravens.
The Vikings watched a seemingly comfortable 17-point fourth-quarter lead evaporate and trailed 31-30 after Baltimore's Ray Rice scored on a 33-yard touchdown run with 3:37 remaining.
Brett Favre quickly moved Minnesota down the field and Longwell drilled the go-ahead field goal on the first play following the two-minute warning.
Baltimore refused to go away quietly as Joe Flacco, who enjoyed a career day passing, marched the Ravens to within striking distance of a game-winning field goal. However, Steven Hauschka pulled a 44-yard attempt left of the upright as time expired.
Favre threw three touchdown passes, including a pair to Visanthe Shiancoe, for the Vikings, who are off to their first 6-0 start since 2003.
Flacco connected on 28-of-43 passes for a career-best 385 yards and two touchdowns, but it wasn't enough to help the Ravens (3-3) avoid heading into their bye week on a three-game losing streak.
