Barring a late-day setback, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin is expected to play in Sunday's NFC Championship Game despite suffering from migraine headaches last week, sources tell ESPN.
The Vikings coaching staff and quarterback Brett Favre expect Harvin will play Sunday, team sources tell ESPN's Ed Werder. The rookie suffered intense migraines that caused him to miss two days of practice. Harvin participated in the team's final practice and meetings Saturday and traveled with the team to New Orleans for Sunday's game against the Saints. Three Vikings starting defensive linemen -- Ray Edwards, Kevin Williams and Pat Williams -- are also expected to be available. Harvin, the AP's offensive rookie of the year, missed practice Thursday and was told by coach Brad Childress to remain home Friday. Childress said the missed practice time could not be made up and called the situation "less than ideal." One source told Werder on Saturday that Harvin's symptoms were less severe but that the problem still lingers. Harvin has dealt with the issue throughout the season and missed one game, a Dec. 13 victory over Cincinnati. Harvin has 60 receptions for 790 yards and six touchdowns. He has also carried the ball 15 times for 135 yards and returned 42 kicks for 1,156 yards and two scores. |

Last week i think the San Diego passing game was cutting the Jets D to pieces, in the first 23 mins or so, it baffled me why they went into their shell trying to run which they just never looked to be doing effectively from the first play.
By the time the Jets had got their offence in gear the game should have been out of the question, then SD had to try and turn it on again passing, which they struggled to do, even though they grabbed the TD with 2 mins or so to go. Similar story tonight with a passing game the priority, and i just cant see Indy reverting to a conservative game plan, if their Offence is on top early, i would expect them to rub the salt in, and have the game sown up by the half, and keep the Jets QB under pressure and off balance, especially with the noise factor. SD blew it big style last week for me, game should have been over before they went conservative, 7 pts is never enough to start changing your play style. The Jets got into a stride late on, and made them pay. |

I doubt the Jets will pass more than 12- 14 times if the game is close so the pass rush will not be a real factor. The Colts safety's will need to play well in run defence support her and will have to play close to the line.. The Jets will deffo take a couple of shote to Braylon ( should be Teflon ) Edwards..if he can actually hold on to one i wouldnt be supplrised to see a dropped coverage and a long TD there.
Got that bit right.. the Colts will think twice about stacking the line now |
