| 53 yards and Owens hauled in five balls for 42 yards. San Francisco is ranked sixth in the NFC in passing this season (236 ypg). San Francisco will surely try to run the ball against the Cleveland front seven with the duo of Kevan Barlow and Garrison Hearst this week. Hearst was very effective against Rams, posting 89 yards on 11 attempts (8.1 ypc). Meanwhile, Barlow added 45 yards on 11 carries in the contest. UP NEXT: The 49ers take to the road to tangle with the Minnesota Vikings at the Metrodome next week. |

On Sunday, they will try to equal that amount of wins in eight fewer weeks when they travel to Motown to take on NFC North rival Detroit at Ford Field. Minnesota has ripped off five straight wins dating back to last season, including Sunday's 24-13 win over the Chicago Bears at the Metrodome. The Vikings are 2-0 for the first time since opening the 2000 campaign with seven straight victories. Head coach Mike Tice is e |

| Eden Prairie, MN (Best E Casino) - Minnesota Vikings starting wide receiver D'Wayne Bates was downgraded from probable to questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit with a sprained left foot. Bates has not practiced at all this week after injuring his foot during last week's win over the Chicago Bears. The Vikings No. 2 receiver behind Randy Moss sprained his foot during the contest and has worn a boot on the foot since. Claimed off waivers from the Chicago Bears this past offseason, Bates is tied for seco |

| Minneapolis, MN (Best E Casino) - Chicago Bears quarterback Kordell Stewart left Sunday's 24-13 loss against the Minnesota Vikings with a neck injury. Stewart, who was acquired from Pittsburgh in the offseason, went down with less than three minutes to go in the game. He suffered a jarring blow by Lance Johnstone and lay on the ground for several moments. The Colorado product was 13-of-21 for 137 yards and a TD in the loss. Chris Chandler replaced him and threw an interception. |

| (Best E Casino) - The Minnesota Vikings followed up a strong finish to the 2002 season with a Week 1 road win over the Packers, making Mike Tice, who predicted before the season that his team would go 10-6 and make the playoffs, look like a genius. The Vikings did not come out of the game unscathed, but are in much better shape injury-wise than the Bears. The Vikings clamped down on Brett Favre, picking him off four times. Safety Corey Chavous had two of those interceptions as well as two passes defended and s |

"A couple of guys like Chris Cash and Chris Watson are not with us because of injuries and Dr? Bly hadn't practiced. Otis Smith was new and on and on. We were a bit concerned going into the game. We have to continue to patch that up and make it better." UP NEXT: Detroit returns home to host the arch-rival Minnesota Vikings next week. |

Green Bay wasn't so fortunate in its season-opener as it had an 11-game regular season home winning streak halted with a disappointing 30-25 defeat to the Minnesota Vikings. The Packers have now lost two consecutive home games, including last year's postseason defeat to Atlanta. Brett Favre might have wished he would have retired in the offseason after his poor performance in the opener, tossing four interceptions (thr |
