Minnesota, which can clinch a wild-card
playoff spot with a loss by either Carolina or St. Louis this weekend, appeared on
its way to retaking the lead. But a holding penalty on Birk -- the Vikings were
flagged nine times for 78 yards -- wiped out a 16-yard run by Michael Bennett that
would have given them the ball at the Green Bay 40 just before the 2-minute warning.
