Already this season Detroit has ended a 10-game losing streak to the Minnesota Vikings and a four-game skid against the Chicago Bears. ``We hadn't beaten Minnesota and we hadn't beaten Chicago, and we did that,'' Kitna said. ``We're going to slay a lot of media dragons this year. ...

Four games into the season, the Cowboys are well on their way. And Crayton is a bigger reason than expected. Force |

After starting his first season 4-2, Childress has lost 11 of 14 games in charge of the Vikings. The biggest problem is an unproductive offense, which now features dangerous rookie running back Adrian Peterson but hasn't done en |
