1- Sunday,
September 9
MINNESOTA
VIKINGS 17 vs
24 SAN
DIEGO CHARGERS
Qualcomm Stadium... The
Vikings
were poised early to make QB Donovan McNabb's (7 for 15, 39 yds, 1TD, 1
INT) debut as the Vikings starter a success, while the first kickoff
seemed to spell disaster for the Chargers. Kicker Nate Kaeding incurred
a left knee injury during Percey Harvin's 103 yard TD return, and Minnesota
would build up a 17-7 lead at the half. Regular San Diego punter Mike
Scifres, who had done no place kicking since college, found the
uprights on 3 extra points and a 40 yard field goal. QB Phillip Rivers
(33 of 48, 335 yds, 2 TD, 2 INT) connected with FB Mike Tolbert (Rec: 9
for 58 yds, 2TD) twice for TDs. Tolbert (Rush: 12 for 35 yds, 1 TD),
who also had a 7 yard TD run in the 3rd quarter, made the winning catch
with 5:01 to play.

TAMPA
BAY BUCCANEERS vs MINNESOTA
VIKINGS
Mall of America
Field at Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome... Again in the 2nd
week of the season, the Vikings colapse like the roof of the Metrodome.
RB Adrian Peterson (25 for 120 yds, 2TD) would lead Minnesota to a 17-0
halftime advantage, but QB Donovan McNabb (18 of 30, 228 yds) was
unable to find the end zone. QB Josh Freeman (22 of 31, 243 yds, 1TD, 1
INT) and RB LeGarrette Blount (13 for 71 yds, 2TD) spurred Tampa Bay's
2nd half recovery, and the Bucs would take their only lead with just 31
seconds remaining.
