MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants will play on Monday night in Detroit after the Metrodome's inflated roof collapsed in a snowstorm. The NFL says kickoff will be at 7:20 p.m. Eastern time. Metrodome officials told the league the roof wouldn't be ready in time to play Monday or Tuesday. The league had discussions with Detroit and Indianapolis and ultimately decided to hold the game at Ford Field. The delay has given Vikings quarterback Brett Favre more time to heal his sprained |

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The snowstorm that pushed the New York Giants-Minnesota Vikings game back a day has caused a partial collapse of the Metrodome's inflated roof. Metrodome official Bill Lester said Sunday morning that the stadium is unlikely to be ready in time for kickoff on Monday night.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A snowstorm has pushed the New York Giants-Minnesota Vikings game to Monday night. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed the decision in an e-mail message Saturday night, with the Giants stuck in Kansas City because of the weather in Minnesota that brought 15 or more inches of snow. Aiello said the decision was made on the recommendation of Metrodome officials. Kickoff time and television arrangements were still being determined.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) - Brett Favre still hasn't been able to throw a proper pass in practice, and the Minnesota Vikings still haven't given up hope their quarterback will extend his NFL record for consecutive starts against the New York Giants in a game postponed until Monday night because of snow. Favre did minimal work in practice Friday for the first time all week, making a few soft tosses to test out the sprained SC joint in his throwing shoulder, but will now get an extra day to heal.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) - E.J. Henderson is something of a medical marvel. The Minnesota Vikings middle linebacker has played all 12 games this season despite breaking his left thigh bone just more than a year ago in a game against Arizona. There was no documented case of an NFL player returning from this kind of injury. Trainers Eric Sugarman and Tom Hunkele (hunk-LEE) put together a rehab program from scratch, and Henderson made it back to start the season opener at New Orleans. The Vikings have pres |

| (MySportsbook) - The two straight wins the Minnesota Vikings have delivered following a change in leadership have indeed been impressive, albeit far less so than Brett Favre's incredible run of 297 consecutive starts. The Vikings are hoping both streaks can continue this week, when the revitalized team continues a late-season homestand with this Sunday's encounter with the NFC East co-leading New York Giants from the Metrodome. Though still a longshot for a return postseason trip, Minnesota is 2-0 since repla |

A fourth-year pro out of USC, Smith has played in eight games this season and posted 47 receptions, 517 yards and three touchdowns.
