CHICAGO (AP) -Chicago Bears defensive tackle Tommie Harris left the game in the third quarter Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings with a leg injury. Harris, who made the Pro Bowl last season, was hurt on the second scrimmage play of the second half, a 6-yard run by the Vikings' Chester Taylor. After staying on the ground for several minutes, Harris was helped off the field. In his third season and a first-round pick in 2004, Harris has five sacks this season.

| PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) -Chester Taylor talks about spending four years on the sidelines, biding his time and watching Jamal Lewis run in Baltimore. ``Someday,'' he thought. ``Someday that's going to be me.'' In his first season as a starter for the Minnesota Vikings, Taylor is certainly making up for lost time. He is second in the NFL with 248 carries, heading into Sunday's game at Chicago just one yard shy of the 1,000-yard milestone. ``I'm not thinking about that right now,'' the soft-spoken Taylor said. `` |

Maybe they can take the pressure off Rex Grossman and let Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson take turns challenging the Minnesota Vikings' defense that is ranked No. 1 against the run. But how much will the Bears do it Sunday at Soldier Field? It's a strategy the Vikings haven't faced the last two weeks. Miami was limited to minus-3 yards rushing on only 14 carries in the previous |

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) -Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Pat Williams was downgraded Thursday from questionable to doubtful for the game Sunday at Chicago because of a right knee injury.

There were no such problems against the Lions. Miami totaled a season-best 186 rushing |

| (MySportsbook) - Can you imagine what the mood would be like in the Minneapolis/St. Paul region if the Minnesota Vikings had lost at home to former coach Denny Green and his hapless Arizona Cardinals on Sunday? Fortunately, the Vikings came out of the game with a 31-26 victory, despite giving up over 400 yards passing, a 99-yard return for a score on the opening kickoff, and a 99-yard fumble return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. "It's been a month. Really, it's been a long time," said head coach Brad |
