Moon unloaded a 65-yard score to Qadry Ismail and led three other scoring drives for a 20–0 lead before halftime, but following a Matt Bahr field goal at the end of the half Moon was stymied and the Vikings saw their lead collapse; tied 20–20 the game went to overtime and the Patriots never let the Vikings get possession of the ball as Kevin Turner caught the winning touchdown and the 26–20 Vikings loss.
Drew Bledsoe threw touchdowns to Ray Crittenden and Leroy Thompson, the Patriots defense shut down the Vikings (the key play came with 2:04 to go in the fourth when Maurice Hurst swatted away a pass for Qadry Ismail), and Matt Bahr, after missing a field goal attempt late in the third quarter, kicked the tying field goal with 14 seconds left in regulation.
