Leslie Frazier couldn't blame his players following the Minnesota Vikings' comeback attempt was stopped on the fourth-down play in the Atlanta 1.

"I told players that's more about me,Vernon Davis Jersey Youth," Frazier said,Vernon Davis Jersey, adding, "I let my emotions get the best of me."

The Vikings lost,Alex Smith Jersey, 24-14, towards the Falcons on Sunday after Frazier's decision to choose a touchdown rather than a field goal backfired. Toby Gerhart was stopped for any loss at the 1 with four minutes remaining.

With Minnesota trailing by 10,Patrick Willis Jersey Youth, Percy Harvin had returned a kickoff 104 yards to the Falcons 3. Three plays later, the Vikings faced fourth-and-goal at the 1. Minnesota needed two scores, but Frazier opted for the touchdown.

Outside linebacker Sean Weatherspoon hit Gerhart behind the line.

"When the guy comes screaming from the edge like that,Patrick Willis Jersey, you have no chance," Gerhart said.

Frazier said he should have gone for the field goal.

"That's purely on me,Justin Smith Jersey," he said. "Just a poor mistake on my part, putting us in that position. However the guys did battle until the very end. I simply have to be smarter for the reason that situation. ... It's something I must study from."

The Vikings regrouped after trailing 17-0 at halftime. Minnesota (2-9) had only five first downs and 97 total yards in the first half.

Gerhart capped a 14-play touchdown drive with a 1-yard scoring run and rookie quarterback Christian Ponder threw a 39-yard scoring pass to Harvin to cut the deficit to 17-14.

The Falcons answered with Matt Ryan's 3-yard touchdown pass to Michael Palmer, which appeared to end the Vikings' comeback. Harvin's long return gave Minnesota another chance.

Harvin took the kick 7 yards deep in the end zone, found a wall of blockers right and took off while watching Atlanta bench. Christopher Owens made a diving tackle at the 3 in order to save the Falcons.

"That was the most pivotal play of the game," Atlanta coach Mike Smith said. "We could put our defense out there and live to play another play."

Harvin had eight catches for 95 yards along with a touchdown and five carries for 11 yards. The Vikings were without Adrian Peterson, who had been sidelined with a sprained left ankle.

Atlanta (7-4) survived to maintain its spot inside a tight NFC playoff race.

Ryan hooked up with Harry Douglas on the 27-yard touchdown with Roddy White on the 6-yarder.

After Gerhart scored late in the third quarter,Frank Gore Jersey, the Falcons designed a mistake when Dominique Franks inadvertently touched a punt, allowing the Vikings to recover. Ponder went to Harvin on fourth-and-13 to make it 17-14.

Ponder supported Frazier's decision to test for the touchdown in the 1 in the fourth quarter.

"I had full confidence i was likely to punch that in,Alex Smith Jersey Youth," Ponder said. "Atlanta has a good defense and they stopped us.

"Another loss and now we are 2-9. It does not feel great. It's getting repetitive, however i need to say that I'm happy with they. They played for four quarters. ... We are going to improve. We've got guys doing everything possible to win games."

The Vikings were outgained 335-226.

"The first half was ugly," Gerhart said. "There's no rhythm. We returned after halftime and wanted to get the ball back and wanted to get a little momentum. Unfortunately, they stopped that momentum at the end of the sport."

Ponder was 17 of 25 for 186 yards but was sacked four times. Gerhart, starting for Peterson, managed only 44 yards on 17 carries.

Ryan was 27 of 34 for 262 yards coupled with his best efficiency rating of year. White,Frank Gore Jersey Youth, showing signs of turning around a disappointing season,Justin Smith Jersey Youth, had his second straight big game with 10 catches for 120 yards.The theme of the related articles：
