In a truly remarkable sequence in the snow in Baltimore, the Vikings have lost, retaken, lost and retaken the lead in a span of one minute and 22 seconds.

The Vikings currently hold a 26-22 lead in the final minute after Cordarrelle Patterson scored a 79-yard TD reception.

First, the Ravens took a 15-12 lead with 2:07 left when Joe Flacco hit Dennis Pitta for a one-yard TD on 4th-and-goal from the Minnesota 1.

Secondly, the Vikings struck back with a 41-yard TD run up the middle by Toby Gerhart, which gave Minnesota a 19-15 lead with 1:45 left.

Then, the Ravens counterpunched in dramatic fashion, with Jacoby Jones taking the ensuing kickoff for 77 yards and a touchdown to give the Ravens a 22-19 lead with 1:27 left.

Finally, we had Patterson taking a pass from Matt Cassel and sprinting away for a 79-yard TD.

Wow.
