Headliners: NFL Week 7 Preview
Vikings lose and Cutler dissects Bengals in Week 7
Steely victory; Pittsburgh hands Minnesota first loss
Minnesota at Pittsburgh (1 p.m. EST - Sunday - FOX)
Commentators: Kenny Albert, Daryl Johnston, and Tony Siragusa
There are a handful of interesting storylines that I'm sure will be unraveled as the game plays out. Brett Favre and the undefeated Vikings going against one of their first legitimate opponents in the Steelers; Mike Tomlin, former Minnesota defensive coordinator, coaching against his former team; Minnesota missing Antoine Winfield while Pittsburgh most likely gets Troy Polamalu back.
The storyline after the game? This high-scoring, hart-hitting affair is decided by the Purple's inability to rush and get to the quarterback. It becomes a statement game for both teams - Pittsburgh is still an AFC contender and Minnesota might be an NFC pretender.
Cutler puts on aerial display; throws 4 TD's against Bengals
Chicago at Cincinnati (3:15 p.m. EST - Sunday - FOX)
Commentators: Sam Rosen and Tim Ryan
Coming off a difficult a loss to the Falcons, the Bears get an immediate opportunity to prove themselves against an up-and-coming Bengals team. Cincinnati's Cedric Benson will be a trendy topic as he's lining up for the first time against the team that drafted him. But the commentators will repeat the fact that without Antwan Odom, the Bengals won't be able to maintain constant pressure on Cutler. Look for the Windy City quarterback to let if fly.
Cowboys fall flat against Falcons
Atlanta at Dallas (3:15 p.m. EST - Monday - FOX)
Commentators: Thom Brennaman and Troy Aikman
This game won't be as much about the Falcons and their continuing emergence of young superstars like Matt Ryan, but more about what appears to be the media-driven idea that Tony Romo is destined to be a failure. A difficult loss will only add to the chorus of boo birds in Dallas' new, gaudy stadium. At least he's not dating Jessica Simpson and Joe Buck is too busy with baseball to write his football epitaph.
