(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated. With AP Photos.) By DAVE CAMPBELL AP Pro Football Writer EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) - The Minnesota Vikings have some extra time to recuperate from their lopsided loss to Tampa Bay. It's a good thing, too. The Vikings lost some of the momentum from their strong start after falling 36-17 to the Buccaneers at home on Thursday night. They also lost starting cornerback Chris Cook to a broken right arm, meaning one of their most important defensive players will be absent for perhaps the remainder of the year. There is a lot that must improve for the Vikings (5-3) if they're going to put together a solid second half to the season. The player under the most scrutiny is quarterback Christian Ponder, who has been out of sync a lot the last month and turning the ball over far too much. --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL |
