The Vikings offense had two huge turnovers in the 4th quarter that led to their loss against the Dolphins.  Reynaldo Hill returned a Chester Taylor fumble 48 yards for a TD and Jason Taylor intercepted a screen pass from Brad Johnson and raced 51 yards for a TD.

Brad Johnson completed 26 of 44 passes for 262 yards and an INT.  Chester Taylor carried the ball 28 times for 80 yards (2.9 ypc) and scored 2 TDs, but he lost 2 fumbles.  Mewelde Moore carried the ball once for 14 yards and caught 5 passes for 32 yards.  Travis Taylor caught 8 passes for 67 yards and Jermaine Wiggins caught 6 passes for 66 yards.

The defense played very well for the Vikings.  Dwight Smith (7 tackles, fumble recovery) and Antoine Winfield (5 tackles, INT) led the way on defense.  The Vikings held the Dolphins to -3 yards rushing on 14 carries (-0.2 ypc).  The Dolphins completed 26 of 42 passes for 254 net yards thru the air.

It might be time for the coach to consider benching some of his offensive players.
