The Raiders offense put up a good fight but the defense was truly awful in this game.  Daunte Culpepper played his best game as a Raider as he completed 23 of 39 passes for 344 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception.  Justin Fargas found it tough to get yards against the Vikings front as he ran the ball 22 times for 60 yards (2.7 ypc) and he also caught 3 passes for 29 yards.  Ronald Curry (4 rec, 120 yards) and Jerry Porter (5 rec, 88 yards) each had one of there better games of the season yesterday.  The Raiders finished up with 61 yards rushing on 27 carries (2.3 ypc) and they also completed 23 of 39 passes for 311 yards.

Kirk Morrison (10 tackles, fumble recovery) and Warren Sapp (6 tackles, fumble recovery) led a poor effort by the defense.  The Vikings finished up with 228 yards rushing on 32 carrries (7.1 ypc) and they also completed 19 of 24 passes for 250 yards.
