That's not quite what happened. The Germans did manage to reach the outskirts of Moscow, but were forced to stop due to the onset of winter rather than by the Russian army. The Germans were poorly equipped for the winter, and suffered for it. IIRC the winter of 1941 was one of the coldest, even by Russian standards.
Subsequent battles, of course, are another story...
