In 180 minutes of football, the Vikings have led for 173 minutes and 9 seconds. And yet they're 0-3 heading to Kansas City on Sunday.Now that's a psychological hurdle to overcome.It's something that now we have to get it mentally out of our head that the second half has not been very well for us, defensive end Brian Robison said. I think any time when it happens three weeks in a row, it is in (our heads).The Vikings have blown halftime leads of 10 points at San Diego, 17 points against the Buccaneers and 20 points against the Lions. The Chiefs, meanwhile, have trailed by 10, 13 and Authentic Michael Crabtree Jersey 17 points this season.Naturally, if the Vikings take a lead, everybody will be thinking about what happened the first three weeks.It should be in the back of everybody's head, but you also don't want to come out in 49ers Michael Crabtree Jersey the third quarter going, 'OK, we don't want this to happen,' receiver Percy Harvin said. I think you just come out there, go with the flow of the game. If there is no flow, try to create a big play. We definitely got to change something that's going on.Running back Adrian Peterson said it's not something that's stuck in our heads.I went into the locker room (Sunday) confident and with Official Michael Crabtree Jersey a mindset of, 'Hey, coming out, making sure we get a Permier Michael Crabtree Jersey fast start,' not, 'Oh, here we go again,' Peterson said. Replica Michael Crabtree Jersey That wasn't my frame of mind. But it ended up being that, 'Here we go again' after the game.--It seems like No. 1 on the Vikings' to-do list, but apparently the coaches need a reminder to keep track of how many carries Adrian Peterson Authentic Frank Gore Jersey Red is getting in the second half of games.A day after Peterson had just five carries for five yards Frank Gore Jersey Womens in the second half of a 26-20 overtime loss to the Lions, coach Leslie Frazier said the coaches have to revisit their approach and be mindful to stay committed to feeding the football to their All-Pro running back.What we have to make sure we are always conscious of -- and I have to remind myself of this -- even if Adrian gets stopped for a negative gain, or two yards because they have so many people at the line of scrimmage, he is such a great player that even against eight-man fronts he can still make something happen and you can't ever forget that.Despite halftime leads of 10, 17 and then 20 points on Sunday, Peterson's second-half carries have been limited. He has 22 carries for 66 yards (3.0) and no touchdowns in the second half. In the first half, he's been dominant with 230 yards and three touchdowns on 36 carries (6.4).Peterson has not complained about his reduced role in the second half. But Michael Crabtree Authentic Jersey asked if he thinks the team should stay committed to giving him the ball more

 The Texans hired Wade Phillips as defensive coordinator, used their first five draft choices on defensive players and signed free-agent defensive backs Johnathan Joseph and Danieal Manning to a combined 34.5 million in guaranteed money to avoid a repeat of last season when the defense lost five games in the Authentic Michael Crabtree Jersey Red fourth quarter.But guess what happened in the Superdome in the third game of the season? Yep, a repeat performance that reminded everyone of the 2010 season.The Official Patrick Willis Jersey Texans blew two leads in the fourth quarter and lost 40-33. They allowed the Saints to score three touchdowns, including two Drew Brees touchdown passes, and a pair of two-point conversion passes. The Saints scored 23 points in the fourth quarter. That's the most allowed by the Texans in any quarter in their history.We didn't play good defense in the fourth quarter, coach Gary Kubiak said. We scored twice Michael Crabtree Jersey White in the fourth quarter offensively. We gave up too many points in the fourth quarter defensively. Regardless of how you look at it, we had a lead Patrick Willis Authentic Jersey with four minutes left in the game, so we've got to close the game.Do you close Michael Crabtree Jersey Womens it offensively? Do you close it defensively? It doesn't matter. You've to close it. We had some great opportunities on the offensive side of the ball with a nine-point lead to make some plays that we didn't make.Defensively, we had opportunities, third down-wise, in the fourth quarter. They made six out of eight third downs Michael Crabtree Jersey Red in the fourth quarter, and I think the shortest 49ers Patrick Willis Jersey one they made was like eight yards, so we had excellent chances to get off the field. We just did not close the game.And then Kubiak stated the obvious: We're going to have to play a whole lot better to beat Pittsburgh.After a 2-1 start and consecutive road games against Miami and Authentic Patrick Willis Jersey New Orleans, the Texans host the Steelers.Copyright (C) 2011 The Sports Xchange.

 their first loss to their division rivals 49ers Patrick Willis Jersey since 2003.The Patriots never got the Patrick Willis Authentic Jersey key stop when they needed it most, and kicker Rian Lindell snapped Buffalo's 15-game losing streak against the Patriots with a 28-yard field goal as time expired, capping a furious rally that lifted the Bills to 3-0 and raised doubts about the effectiveness of New England's defense.When Tom Brady plays near-flawless football, all is well in New England. But on a day like Sunday in which he threw four interceptions -- he only threw four all of last season -- areas of weakness suddenly become the focal point.Through three games, the Patriots have allowed more yards (1,406) Michael Crabtree Jersey White than any team in the NFL and have Michael Crabtree Jersey Womens allowed the sixth most points per game with 26.3. They're not too bad against Authentic Michael Crabtree Jersey Red the run (11th overall in run defense), but their pass defense has been atrocious; they're allowing a whopping 377 yards per game through the air -- one of only three teams allowing more than 300 yards per game in that category.Sunday's performance didn't help. Bills' quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick Michael Crabtree Jersey Red completed 27 of 40 passes for 369 yards and two touchdowns to complete the comeback.We've got to start carrying our own share of the load, defensive end Shaun Ellis said. Your team scores 31, you got to win the game. We knew they were a good second-half team. It was up to us to stop them. We scored enough points.Added cornerback Leigh Bodden: They just made plays when they had to. We didn't. That's how it got away. We just got to finish plays, eliminate the deep balls, which they caught a few on us.Things figure to get tougher this weekend when the Patriots travel to Oakland to face the surprising Raiders, who are 2-1 and lead the league in rushing while averaging the sixth most points per game (30.7) in the NFL.This is something we'll learn from as a football team, guard Brian Authentic Patrick Willis Jersey Waters said. We'll try to fix it before next week.Copyright (C) 2011 The Sports Xchange. All Rights Reserved.

The pressure is on in New England.It's not the pressure that Bill Official Patrick Willis Jersey Belichick probably envisioned when he was constructing his post-lockout Patriots' roster on the fly this summer.Theoretically, Belichick traded for wide receiver Chad Ochocinco to add another element to a passing game that led New England as the highest-scoring attack in the league in 2010.But Ochocinco has struggled mightily in getting his mind wrapped around New England's complex passing game and his confidence seems to be in the gutter right now. He's caught just Michael Crabtree Jersey Red five passes for 87 yards in three games, but his most memorable plays from Sunday's loss in Buffalo were a rounded-off route that contributed to an interception and an ugly drop on a would-be 41-yard touchdown pass.Belichick's vision isn't coming together any 49ers Patrick Willis Jersey better on the defensive side of the ball for Belichick.When he traded for Albert Haynesworth and signed veteran defensive linemen Shaun Authentic Patrick Willis Jersey Ellis, Mark Anderson and Andre Carter he did so with the idea that they'd help put pressure on opposing passers in New England's new-look 4-3 front. Theoretically, a defense that ranked dead-last in third-down defense and struggled overall against the pass a year ago would get a boost up front.The best-laid plan often goes awry, and nothing could be truer than with the theory about the Patriots defense.Haynesworth has been basically a non-factor, including missing Sunday's game with a back injury. The other three have failed to inject much life into a pass rush that's contributed mightily, or fail to contribute as it would be, to a defense that's allowed 1,406 yards in three games.The failings of Belichick offseason as a whole, especially on defense, have increased the pressure in an unintended way on Tom Brady. The reigning Authentic Michael Crabtree Jersey Red NFL MVP essentially has to be perfect if New England is Patrick Willis Authentic Jersey to win games against decent competition at Michael Crabtree Jersey White this point. Brady was just that through two wins to open the season, but when he threw four interceptions in Buffalo it led to the Bills first win over New England since 2003.So while opposing quarterbacks are feeling absolutely no pressure these days -- including on Sunday when Buffalo's Ryan Fiztpatrick was not sacked and hit just twice on 40 pass attempts -- Brady is feeling as much pressure to carry New England's winning chances as ever.Even his teammates realize and know it simply has to be better.This isn't just on Tom. It's everybody, Welker said of what needs to improve.We just need to try to score more and give up less, Belichick said in his bottom-line style.Of course former might be hard for a team that has scored at least 31 points in each of first three games. And considering how poorly the defense is playing right now, the latter might be hard as well.Either way, the pressure is on Brady right now in New England to carry the load.--Apparently, scoring 30 points won't be enough to win every game.At some point, the Patriots realize, their defense will be required to make stops in crucial situations. So far in 2011, coach Bill Belichick is still Michael Crabtree Jersey Womens waiting for that part of the Patriots' plan to fall into place.With a 21-0 lead in the second quarter Sunday at Buffalo, the Patriots fell apart in the second half in an eventual 34-31 loss to the Buffalo Bills

 Last Wednesday, Washington cornerback DeAngelo Hall took it upon himself to become the latest lightning rod in the longstanding Redskins-Cowboys rivalry by saying that he would aim for the injured body parts Authentic Patrick Willis Jersey Red of ailing Dallas players if he had the chance in Monday's game.Hall's trash talk didn't seem to be of much consequence at Cowboys Stadium until it really mattered. Left in single coverage with Dallas receiver Dez Bryant on third-and-21 Vernon Davis Authentic Jersey with 2:20 left as Washington defensive coordinator Jim Haslett called an all-out blitz, Hall was not only Patrick Willis Jersey Womens beaten for a 30-yard catch, he was penalized 15 yards for grabbing Bryant's facemask.From the brink of defeat, the Cowboys suddenly had a first down at the Washington 30-yard line. Three runs and Dan Bailey's sixth field goal of the game later, they had an 18-16 lead which was preserved when Rex Grossman lost a fumble when sacked five plays later. And there went the Redskins' 3-0 start.Hall, who had kicked Authentic Vernon Davis Jersey himself for getting similarly burned by Arizona standout Larry Fitzgerald for a 73-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter of the previous week's 22-21 escape of the Cardinals, wasn't nearly so selfless after Monday's game.The ever-emotional reigning Pro Bowl MVP blamed Haslett and the officials for his late meltdown.You ain't supposed to have (cover a receiver so long), Permier Patrick Willis Jersey but (expletive) happens, said Hall, saying that while the Redskins had prospered earlier with the blitz, eventually it would Patrick Willis Jersey White cost them.Washington coach Mike Shanahan had earlier opted to praise ailing Cowboys Patrick Willis Jersey Red quarterback Tony Romo for evading the rush and finding Bryant open for a long heave.You could second-guess everything, Shanahan said after his team failed to attain its first 3-0 opening since 2005 and sank into a three-way tie with Dallas and the New York Giants atop the NFC East heading into this week's game at St. Louis. We had a chance to get the sack there and (Romo) did a good job scrambling and making a play.The coach had no beef, of course, with the obvious facemask call, but Hall, naturally, did.That was a (expletive) terrible call, Hall complained. I told the ref he's going to (expletive) lose his job ... worst call of the game. He's going to get some demerit points for that call because that wasn't no Replica Patrick Willis Jersey facemask.Copyright (C) 2011 The Sports Xchange. All Rights Reserved.

Based off my film evaluation the Rams must double team or chip Giants DE Jason Pierre-Paul(notes) all day, this young player is quickly developing into a BLUE player (playmaker & difference maker).Don"t be surprised if:Steven Jackson is ready to play.

Bucs Authentic James Harrison Jersey Black quarterback Josh Freeman(notes) was cramping last week, but should not have those problems inside the dome.The X-Factor:The Tampa Bay Buccaneers did not play well at home Authentic Ike Taylor Jersey Black against Detroit last week, but was a strong road team in 2010. Tampa Bay finished 6-2 James Farrior Jersey White on the road last season and only Pittsburgh (7-1) had a better record. In those two losses, Atlanta defeated Tampa Bay, 27-21, while Baltimore squeaked by with a 17-10 Replica James Farrior Jersey win, which makes the Bucs a very dangerous road team.Don"t be surprised if:Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson puts up huge numbers on Premier James Harrison Jersey Sunday.

The X-Factor:The Raiders want to be a very physical team, but aren't going to be able to beat any teams besides the feeble Broncos with Authentic Mike Wallace Jersey White 15 penalties. They need to play with discipline in Buffalo.Don"t be surprised if:the Richard-Seymour-led defensive line doesn't dominate the way it should.

That means Mike Rashard Mendenhall Jersey White Kafka(notes) is likely backing up Vick again.The X-Factor:Michael Vick(notes). Who else? The Eagles quarterback returns to face his former team for the second time in three seasons, but this time Vick is the starter. He will obviously be motivated to show Atlanta how far he has come as a Premier Troy Polamalu Jersey quarterback. But if Vick can't pick up the Falcons blitz the Eagles' fast-break offense could have trouble getting on track.Don"t be surprised if:Jeremy Maclin(notes) is targeted early and often. The wide receiver, who missed all of the preseason because of the cancer scare, had only one catch for Replica Rashard Mendenhall Jersey 20 yards last week. Steelers Rashard Mendenhall Jersey Maclin was targeted just three times while DeSean Jackson(notes) had a dozen tossed his way (He caught six).

Ralph Wilson to miss first Bills home opener in 52 years                  The Buffalo News reports that Bills owner Ralph C. Wilson Jr. will miss the team's home opener against the Raiders on Sunday — the first time Wilson will miss his team's home opener in 52 years.Wilson, 92, is still recovering from Aaron Smith Jersey White the broken hip he suffered in a fall Replica Troy Polamalu Jersey at Troy Polamalu Jersey Black his Official Troy Polamalu Jersey home in early June. As a result, he will be watching the Raiders-Bills game on TV from his Detroit-area home.The Pro Football Hall of Famer told the paper that his health is good aside from the hip, and that he expects to Official Aaron Smith Jersey see a game at Ralph Wilson Stadium later this season."Definitely," he said.

"We love to run the ball, and I think we have the best backs in the league.”The Giants didn"t exactly move the ball all over the Redskins with Steelers Aaron Smith Jersey Eli Manning(notes), and Washington was without its top safety LaRon Landry(notes). But Gilbride explained the Redskins made second-half adjustments with a safety in the box to limit the run."We ran the ball early and we established it, and kind of got away from Troy Polamalu Jersey Camouflage it,” Bradshaw said. "The defense saw that we ran the ball Replica Aaron Smith Jersey early, and they were more in tune with stopping the run than the pass. "Just being a running back, we know what we can do with the ball in our hands. We know how much it opens the offense up, and it"s a lot better to go with second-and-5 after a run than having to throw when it"s second-and-10.”We"ll Aaron Smith Jersey Black see what kind of play calling the Giants come out with Monday night when they face the St. Louis Rams.Follow me on Twitter: BradBiggsBrad Biggs covers the Troy Polamalu Jersey White Bears for the Chicago Tribune
