Chris Johnson excelled once again, rushing 18 times for 154 yards and a score. Matt Leinart, starting in place of the injured Kurt Warner, went 21-for-31 with 220 yards. Tim Hightower (55 yards and a touchdown) and Chris ?Beanie? Wells (20 yards) weren?t overly productive, which didn?t help Leinart?s cause. Arizona got some help on special teams, with LaRod Stephens-Howling returning a kick 99 yards in the third quarter. Minnesota 36, Chicago 10 Team Trench Counter: Vikings +20.3, Bears -20.3 The Minnesota Vikings (10-1) exploded for 24 points in the second quarter in their route of the Chicago Bears (4-7) on Sunday.

Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton says that the team thrives off of the emotions of head coach Josh McDaniels. McDaniels has made headlines for his emotions lately. He screamed at the Chargers last weekend and then was heard swearing on Thursday night against the Giants. "It`s great to have a coach like that, you know, emotional," Orton said. "We've got a lot of emotion on our offense. I think our guys appreciate it and thrive off of it."

The NFL Network accidentally aired profanity from Broncos coach Josh McDaniels on Thursday night. McDaniels was yelling at his players on the sidelines during their win over the Giants. Coming out of a commercial, the network showed a clip of McDaniels, who yelled: "All we're trying to do is win a (expletive) game!" Announcer Bob Papa apologized to viewers. "We want to apologize for that audio as we went to the last break that got out over the air. We do send our sincerest apologizes for the Josh McDaniels audio that got out there," Papa said.

After holding a players only meeting, the Broncos claim to be on the same page. Denver has lost four straight games following a 6-0 start to the season. "We are on the same page," tight end Daniel Graham said. "There were a lot of emotions out there. No one likes losing. Frustrations came out a little bit. This team will stick together. We are going to fight through this together." During Sunday's loss to the Chargers, wide receiver Brandon Marshall was seen screaming at rookie running back Knowshon Moreno after a fumble.

In the midst of a four-game losing streak, the Broncos held a players only meeting on Tuesday. Veteran safety Brian Dawkins called for the meeting, which head coach Josh McDaniels was aware of. "We talked," Dawkins said. "What we do as a team, we keep that stuff to ourselves. But if we're winning and we have that same argument on the sidelines, does anybody report that? If they do, they say it's our passion. But because we lost that game, and guys were a little emotional, then it's a bad thing. "I don't buy into that. That's not who we are, who we've been throughout this year. I don't worry about that. Those are things that happen on the sideline. That is passion."

In the wake of four straight losses, the Broncos are starting to crumble from within. Denver wide receiver Brandon Marshall says that he isn't sorry for yelling at rookie running back Knowshon Moreno on the sidelines following a fumble on Sunday. "We've got a lot of emotional players on our team. I'm an emotional person myself," coach Josh McDaniels said. "Sometimes that happens. I'm not saying it's good, as long as people can work things out. Obviously we don't want to make scenes or problems for ourselves on the sideline. But there are a lot of things that happen on the sideline that involve emotion."

Denver's head coach Josh McDaniels told San Diego's linebackers, "We own you." "I'm not surprised," Shaun Phillips said. "He's a little cocky (rear end). It's all good, all fun and games. We didn't look too much into it. As a coach, I hope he has that mind-set. But to say he owns us? I mean, you beat us one time. What has he really done in this league? He had a team 6-0 and now he's looking up at us from second place." McDaniels said after the game as he headed to his car that the Chargers "talked to me first." He then said, "I'm not making a story about this. If I did, I'd be able to tell you some things that aren't for papers."

Chris Simms is expected to start at quarterback for the Broncos on Sunday against the Chargers. Kyle Orton is dealing with a severely sprained left ankle. Simms has practiced with the first-team offense all week.

Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton's status for Sunday's game against the Chargers won't be determined until right before kickoff. Orton missed practice for the third straight day on Friday because of a sprained left ankle. "If Kyle is completely able to do what we're going to ask him to do in the game plan, and can do it at a level that allows us to be successful, then we could give him an opportunity to play," coach Josh McDaniels said. "If he's not capable of playing at that level, or doing some of the things that we need him to be able to do, then you go with the guy who practiced." If Orton can't play, Chris Simms will start for Denver.

Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton will play through his ankle injury this coming weekend. Denver is scheduled to face off against San Diego. NFL Network insider Michael Lombardi reported that Orton will play through the injury, which caused Orton to miss the second half of the team's loss to the Redskins.
