      With Peyton Watching, Eli, Giants Bomb

      (Newser) - It was deja vu for Eli Manning today, who provided Minnesota all the offense it needed, throwing four interceptions, three of which were returned for touchdowns. The four picks in the 41-17 Giants loss tied his career high, set against these same Vikings just two seasons ago. Meanwhile, opposing quarterback Tarvaris Jackson was good enough while throwing only 12 passes. More »

      St. Paul Pioneer Press (Minn.)  |  Oct 2, 07

      Kelly Holcomb's second start as the Vikings' quarterback didn't end any better than the first, and he doesn't know if it will be his last. "I have no clue," Holcomb said after Sunday's 23-16 loss to Green Bay. "Right now, as a team we've got to regroup. We've got to come out, and we can't hang our heads. ... I don't know what's going to happen with the quarterback situation. I really don't care. It's all about winning games." As in the previous week's loss at Kansas City, Holcomb missed an easy touchdown pass early, overthrowing a wide-open Sidney Rice for what could have been a 70-yard score...
