It marked the first time Elam nailed two field goals of more than 45 yards in a game since October 19 of last season when he drilled two 46-yard kicks against the Minnesota Vikings at the Metrodome. Jake Plummer was hardly spectacular in Denver's winning effort, completing 13- of-31 passes for 138 yards and a touchdown. The Broncos won for the fourth time in six all-time meetings with the Bucs.

| New York, NY (Best E Casino) - The National Football League handed down fines to 15 players involved in a scuffle between the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears on September 26. Minnesota star receiver Randy Moss was fined $5,000, but the harshest penalty went to teammate Nate Burleson, who had a $7,500 fine levied against him for removing a Chicago player's helmet. A hit by Bears safety Todd Johnson on Burleson started the fracas, but Johnson was not disciplined by the league. Quarterback Daunte Culpepper, c |

The Eagles were coming off a Monday night victory over the Minnesota Vikings. That game was a much-hyped battle between Philadelphia wide receiver Terrell Owens and Minnesota wideout Randy Moss. "That's one of the challenges of the game", Eagles head coach Andy Reid said. "But if you want to be on Monday Night Football and y |

They receive 90 percent of publicity and even more of the congratulations and ire in good and bad times, respectively. However, the success of the Minnesota offense over the long term has always hinged on the running game. Whether it be the now-retired Robert Smith, Michael Bennett or Moe Williams carrying the ball, the Vikings have been consistently ranked in the top 10 in rushing over the years. There's a new r |

However, an MRI revealed that Bennett should be ready to go for Minnesota's next game on October 10 versus Houston. The Vikings are idle a week |

Rosenthal broke his right foot in Monday's 27-16 loss to Philadelphia, while Kleinsasser will have surgery to repair damage to his right knee. Kleinsasser, a five-year pro out of North Dakota, sustained his injury in the season opener against Dallas. The Vikings second round pick in the 1999 NFL |

With Daunte Culpepper, Randy Moss and a solid running game in the fold, it would seem that Minnesota could score on every possession. Things tend to go awry, though, and that was proven once again in the Vikings' 27-16 loss to Philadelphia at Lincoln Financial Field on Monday night. Under the Monday night lights, the Vikings moved the ball up and down the field with relative ease, racking up 410 total yards and 25 first downs while k |

So much for the highly-hyped matchup of 2003's top offense versus the league's top defense. "We were the No. 1 offense and they were the No. 1 defense, and everybody thought it was going to be a close game," Vikings wideout Randy Moss said. "I really thought we were going to score 40 points on these guys." Minnesota quarterback Daunte Culpepper threw for 242 |
