That's the approach Coughlin has taken every week. Nothing has changed with the Minnesota Vikings on tap Sunday. It will be interesting to see how New York performs. It collapsed down the stretch last year after being hit by a string of injuries. Now is the first time this season it is facing multiple injuries among its starters. Linebacker |

The Minnesota Vikings will probably be without star running back Adrian Peterson for at least another week. Peterson was sent to work out in a swimming pool Monday for continued rehab on his injured right knee. Coach Brad Childress said he didn't expect Peterson to be ready for the next game against the New York Giants. ``It's hard to say right now. He hasn't been on hard land yet,'' Childress said. Chester Taylor resumed his role as the featured back and rushed for 164 yards on Sunday in a victory over |

| after the big, bruising Jacobs sprained a knee in the season opener and missed the next three weeks. However, he was banged up during that stint and has been slow to return. With Jacobs and Ward out, veteran Reuben Droughns would start against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, backed up by rookie Ahmad Bradshaw. ``It went from a deep, strong position to a position now that has a couple of injuries,'' Coughlin said. ``We are trying to figure out just exactly where Ward is, and it probably would take through to |

| Minneapolis, MN (Best E Casino) - Chester Taylor gained 164 yards on 22 carries with three touchdowns, and the Minnesota Vikings held off former quarterback Daunte Culpepper and the Oakland Raiders, 29-22. Taylor picked up the Vikings offense in a big way, making up for the lack of rookie star Adrian Peterson, who is out with a ligament tear in his right knee. Tarvaris Jackson, who returned after missing a week following a concussion, was an efficient 17-of-22 for 171 yards with one interception for the Viking |

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Playing in the building he once lit up as a member of the Minnesota Vikings, Oakland's Daunte Culpepper delivered an enigmatic performance reminiscent of his career here. Culpepper was up and down from start to finish in Oakland's 29-22 loss to Minnesota on Sunday, completing 23 of 39 passes for 344 yards and a touchdown. He also fumbled twice and was called for intentional grounding while he was in the end zone, giving a safety to the Vikings. ``I think every week and every day I'm fee |

| (Best E Casino) - For the Minnesota Vikings, it's a matter of pick your poison. When the Oakland Raiders invade the Metrodome on Sunday, the Vikings' fan base will see two quarterbacks with whom they have great familiarity, and to whom they would not relish losing. The first is Josh McCown, who ripped the hearts out of the Purple Nation while with the Cardinals back on Dec. 29, 2003. In that game, his only career appearance against the Vikings, McCown completed 20-of-33 passes for 224 and two touchdowns, inclu |

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -Daunte Culpepper and the Minnesota Vikings parted last year, but they've been traveling in the same direction since. This week, they'll each try to use the other to begin the long climb back to where they were. ``It's just a great opportunity. I'm glad to have the opportunity I have to be on this club. I'm ready to take advantage of it,'' said Culpepper, who will start at quarterback for Oakland on Sunday. This will be his first appearance at the Metrodome since the uproarious 2005 seaso |

| Eden Prairie, MN (Best E Casino) - Minnesota Vikings rookie running Adrian Peterson has a torn knee ligament and is expected to miss at least this Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders. Vikings head coach Brad Childress did not give a timetable for Peterson's return, but said an MRI exam on the right knee revealed a partial tear of the lateral collateral ligament. "Clinically, he's got a two-plus tear," said Childress on Monday. "The knee otherwise is stable. All the other structures are good." Surgery won |
