Trying to stop a three-game skid, the Vikings flew to Dolphin Stadium for an interconference fight with the Miami Dolphins. In the first quarter, the Vikes struck first with RB Chester Taylor getting a 1-yard TD run for the only score of the period. However, in the second quarter, the Dolphins took the lead with kicker Olindo Mare getting a 44-yard field goal, while QB Joey Harrington completed an 11-yard TD pass to TE Justin Peelle. In the third quarter, Minnesota tied the game with kicker Ryan Longwell nailing a 35-yard field goal. Afterwards, in the fourth quarter, Longwell would kick a 19-yard field goal to help the Vikings retake the lead. However, Miami's defense made some huge stops on the Vikes, with Free Safety Renaldo Hill returning a fumble 48 yards for a touchdown, while DE Jason Taylor returned an interception 51 yards for a touchdown. The only response that Minnesota could whip up was on the final offensive play of the game, as Taylor got another 1-yard TD run. With their fourth-straight loss, the Vikings fell 4-6.
