|The Patriots marched down the Field again and made it 10-0 early in the Second Quarter with a Stephen Gostowski Field Goal. The ensuing Vikings drive ended with Brad Johnson throwing for his second interception of the game. The Pats punted, only to have the ball punted back to them, leading to a 73 yard touchdown drive.

The crowd was silenced once and for all on the following kickoff, which Laurence Maroney was a break away from a touchdown. Brady then went 3-3 and a Touchdown pass to Troy Brown. The Vikings tried to score again, but were stopped by a ruled incomplete pass to Jermaine Wiggins. With 5 seconds left in the third Quarter, Brady throws for his fourth TD pass of the night, putting the score at 31-7.
