Watching Adrian Peterson hop . Jacob Martin Womens Jersey ... and hop ... and hop ... and hop his way through the Minnesota Vikings new stadium, one couldnt help but wonder: How badly might one of the NFLs premier running backs be injured? And: Isnt there a better way to get a hurt player to the locker room?The answer to that first question could be clearer Monday, when Peterson is scheduled for an MRI exam on his right knee, which gave way at the end of a run in the third quarter of Minnesotas 17-14 victory over Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.After the game Sunday night, Peterson was wearing a brace on his right leg and using crutches.He might miss a week, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said. I dont know if he will or not.Peterson was the 2012 league MVP and is a three-time league rushing leader. So given that the Vikings already lost starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater for the season, losing Peterson for any significant amount of time could really undermine what Zimmer is developing on the defensive side of the ball.It capped a rough day for running backs: Tampa Bays Doug Martin, Miamis Arian Foster, San Diegos Danny Woodhead, Carolinas Jonathan Stewart and Detroits Ameer Abdullah all got injured.In case you missed it, here are the other top topics after the NFL seasons second Sunday:PATS NEED A SUB FOR THE SUB: Rookie QB Jacoby Brissetts first NFL start could come this week, when he might be called upon to sub for the suspended Tom Bradys sub, the injured Jimmy Garoppolo, in the New England Patriots game Thursday against the Houston Texans and old friend Bill OBrien. Brissett, a third-round draft pick, played in New Englands 31-24 win against Miami on Sunday after Garoppolos right shoulder got hurt when he was slammed to the ground by linebacker Kiko Alonso.SEAHAWKS STUMBLES: Tough to decide which is more troubling about Seattles 1-1 start -- the zero turnovers created by its defense or the sole touchdown produced by Russell Wilson and the offense. A 9-3 loss to the punchless Los Angeles Rams is not a good look. Consider: The Rams have fewer touchdowns (zero) than victories (one). And yet No. 1 overall draft pick Jared Goff remains on the bench while Case Keenum plays QB for Jeff Fisher.DAKS DEAL: Used to be that as Tony Romo dealt with injury after injury, the Dallas Cowboys were destined to lose game after game. Maybe its different now. Dak Prescott became the teams first rookie QB to win a start in 12 years when he led Dallas past the imploding Washington Redskins 27-23. Prescott completed 22 of 30 passes for 292 yards, he ran for a TD and, perhaps of most significance, he has yet to have a turnover in two games. Hes very composed. Hes very confident in himself, teammate Alfred Morris said. Hes a natural leader, so I love that about him.0-2 AND LOOKING BAD: There are seven teams that are 0-2 -- Chicago could join them with a loss against Philadelphia on Monday night -- and several look as if theres little hope of a turnaround. Jacksonville, Buffalo and Cleveland, for example. Most surprising club in that category? Maybe the Redskins, who not only have to be concerned about QB Kirk Cousins -- only one TD pass and three interceptions so far, including an end-zone pick on third-and-goal at the 6 on Sunday -- but also some internal finger-pointing, including defensive lineman Ricky Jean Francois wondering aloud about why the defense never makes adjustments.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ;Seahawks Jerseys Online . After dropping their final six games of December, the Wild opened the new calendar year with four consecutive wins. Following a loss to Colorado on Saturday, Minnesota rebounded the following night to blank Nashville 4-0, but then had the tables turned on them Tuesday. Alex McGough Womens Jersey . All of the scoring came in the final 20:04. Lucic scored on a power play at 15:46 of the third period, when he tipped a shot over Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen for a 3-1 lead. http://www.cheapseahawksjerseys.net/will-dissly-womens-jersey/ .

AMES, Iowa -- Iowa State moved the ball and yet again played strong defense.The result was a surprisingly satisfying win on the heels of two tough losses.Deonte Burton scored 20 points and the 25th-ranked Cyclones pummeled Nebraska-Omaha 91-47 on Monday night, snapping a two-game losing streak.Donovan Jackson had 15 for the Cyclones (6-2), who hit 15 of 29 3-pointers and rolled to their third win of 40 or more points this season.I thought we did some things better, Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said.

You better guard, and you better play the right way.Tra-Deon Hollins had 13 points to lead the Mavs.THE BIG PICTUREIowa State: One of the big issues for Iowa State this season was inconsistent ball movement. That was clearly a focus for coach Steve Prohm in practice after last weeks 55-54 home loss to Cincinnati, and the Cyclones had the ball flying around the perimeter from the opening tip. Iowa State had 10 assists on its first 16 baskets.Omaha: The Mavericks crossed the Missouuri River for a road trip against Iowa and Iowa State. Rasheem Green Womens Jersey. They split, having beaten the Hawkeyes 98-89 on Saturday. Thats a result any Summit League program would take.POLL IMPLICATIONSRanked teams are supposed to beat low-major teams handily at home.

Solomon Young returned from a hand injury and scored six points and five rebounds off the bench. His size will be crucial against Iowa, which has depth along its frontline.ACTION JACKSONJackson, a junior college transfer, was expected to be Iowa States starting point guard this season -- but Morris somewhat unexpectedly returned for his senior season. Jackson was spotty at times as a rotation guard, averaging just 3.9 points in his first seven games. Jackson got 23 minutes and made the most of them Monday, adding three assists, three rebounds and a steal without a turnover. I dont care who we were playing...he made open shots. He made right decisions, Prohm said. He bounced back, but thats what good players do.HE SAID ITI think Im gaining more confidence by the day, Jackson said.UP NEXTThe Cyclones hit the road to face Iowa on Thursday.
