The two point conversion by John Bryant was good, and the Vikings took the lead 14-12.
But in the final two minutes of the game, the Panther’s Preston Higbee completed a 20-yard pass to Paul Lewis for a touchdown, and Panther Reece Thornton rushed for the two-point conversion bringing the Panthers the win.
