| New Orleans, LA (Best E Casino) - Minnesota Vikings star receiver Randy Moss was forced to leave Sunday's contest against New Orleans because of a strained right hamstring. Moss hurt the hamstring with just under five minutes remaining in the second quarter as he was battling with a defender to get position on a long pass from Daunte Culpepper. Moss returned for the next offensive series, but then sat out the remainder of the game. He finished with two catches for 89 yards and a touchdown, helping Minnesota to |

The Jets will play the Patriots in Week 7, and will get a chance to silence those naysayers that have been quick to point out the combined 6-22 record of the team's five opponents to date. MOSS LOSS The Minnesota Vikings generated their typical offensive fireworks in Sunday night's 38-31 win over the New Orleans Saints, but they did so in large part without All-Pro wide receiver Randy Moss.

| . One week after 0-3 Arizona humbled Jim Haslett's team (34-10), the 0-4 Buccaneers came into the Superdome and prevailed by a 20-17 count. After what those poor teams did to the Saints, you have to believe that this week's New Orleans opponent, the Minnesota Vikings, are licking their chops. The Vikings endured a string of injuries prior to its game with Houston last Sunday, but came away with a 34-28 overtime win. Minnesota blew a 21-0 lead as the Texans forced overtime, but quarterback Daunte Culpepper (36-50 |

| Eden Prairie, MN (Best E Casino) - The Minnesota Vikings added depth to their secondary Wednesday with the addition of defensive back Derek Ross. Ross was claimed off waivers by the New Orleans Saints in August, but was released when he missed a scheduled team flight. The Vikings then claimed him later that month and let him go two weeks later. The Ohio State product was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the third round of the 2002 NFL Draft. He earned All-Rookie honors that year with 67 tackles and five interc |

Haslett's job security, and perhaps the Saints season, will be on the line against the high-powered Minnesota Vikings this Sunday. New Orleans will host another team that enjoys playing indoors on the carpet, and is riding the arm of a red-hot quarterback in Daunte Culpepper. The Vikings are coming off of a thrilling 34-28 overtime win over Houston, which saw Culpe |

| Eden Prairie, MN (Best E Casino) - Minnesota Vikings All-Pro wide receiver Randy Moss is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus Houston with a right ankle problem. Moss rolled his ankle coming out for warm-ups for the Dallas Cowboys game in the season opener on September 12. The setback apparently didn't bother Moss that day as he grabbed four passes for 27 yards and two TDs in a 35-17 romp. "We'll put (Randy) Moss on as probable with an ankle," Vikings head coach Mike Tice said Thursday. "He got it stuck |
