Both the Vikings and Colts want to avoid going 0-2 to start out the new season. The only problem is, one of them will. This Sunday the two squads will face each other at 1:00 pm ET in Minnesota. For two teams that were projected to be division leaders, one of them will fall to an embarrassing start.

Maybe it will be worse for the Colts who have started out at least 7-0 in the last three seasons of NFL play (an NFL record). Under the leadership of Peyton Manning, the Colts have been a powerhouse in the AFC South for as long as one can remember. But the sloppy offensive output last week against the Bears, compounded by the equally (if not worse) defensive play, has many Colts fans worried. The Colts’ defense was unable to stifle the Chicago Bears running game…something that needs to fixed before they face the electric Adrian Peterson of the Vikings.

But the Vikings also looked poor in their first start against the Packers. Aside from Adrian Peterson (who rushed for a touchdown and 103 yards), the Vikings offense was all but absent from the field. Quarterback Tarvaris Jackson threw a substandard 16-35 and often failed to move the chains for the offense. Their defense had a hard time containing the passing attack of new Packers QB Aaron Rodgers. Imagine what a veteran like Peyton might do…

It’s ultimately going to be disappointing for one of the teams but expect a hearty battle from both sides.

Ex quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings Warren Moon is going to enter a plea on February, 5  after being charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. The charges stem from an arrest in December when a police officer observed Moon’s vehicle with expired plates on the Highway 520 Bridge. At the time Moon still had a valid Texas driver’s license, meanwhile his right to drive had been suspended in

Washington State. Warren currently works broadcasting on Seattle Seahawks’ radio as a color analyst. A spokesman for the Seahawks had no comment on this situation.
