FanHouse Ryan Cook

With money to spend, the Vikings are expected to try to find a veteran quarterback, but it appears that the first priority is to acquire a right tackle.

While there aren't that many teams in the market for a starting quarterback, there are plenty of teams who could use an upgrade at tackle, so if the Vikings are looking to replace Ryan Cook/Artis Hicks, they will have to act quickly. ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert (who used to cover the Vikings) is reporting that the Vikings and the Bears are both targeting Dolphins tackle Vernon Carey.

Every week, NFL FanHouse hits the lowlights from Sunday's action, looking at those players who did the most to move their head coaches that much closer to returning to the Bed and Breakfast business.

James Butler, Giants
You know, I was a little hard on Manning the Younger last night. I accused him of playing great football for 30 minutes, and then turning into an interception-throwing pumpkin, while the Patriots did what they do: mount a second-half comeback and win in handsome Tom Brady fashion.

But after some soul-searching, I've come to the realization that the Patriots-Giants game didn't turn on Manning's fourth-quarter pick, but on what transpired three plays prior. You can see the birds-eye view here, but all you need to know is this: safety James Butler must've blacked out because when the cameras finally caught up with him, he was about 15 yards behind Randy Moss. Moss was making his way to the end zone after hauling in a 65-yard bomb from Brady.

That was the game-changer. To that point, the Giants' offense was moving the ball without much trouble, and the defense was like Plexiglas Burress: bend but don't break.

On the bright side, Manning played probably his best game as a professional, and the timing couldn't be better.
