Tonight on Monday Night Football (ESPN).
This is a no-brainer if you are a Brett Favre or Naufahu Tahi fan, it’s root for the Vikings. Auwe! Packers have no islanders on their roster. Naufahu looks questionable (back) before the game and running backs (Peterson & Taylor) may be seeing a majority of playing time. Let’s hope to see Naufahu working the backfield and Brett throwing like the last game for a Vikings victory.

Just a quick preview for Hawai’i Football Fanatics fans to get the juices going for the NFL’s First Sunday of the regular season!:
Starting off the morning at 7am
Minnesota Vikings @ Cleveland Browns (KHON3)
Looks like Naufahu Tahi will be playing more as the running backs (Peterson & Taylor) will take turns pounding away for yardage during gametime. Newcomers/draftees David Veikune and Kaluka Maiava for the Browns have their duties cut out for them as they may see more playing time than usual as they compete for starting spots.
Minnesota Vikings Offense - #38 Naufahu Tahi
Cleveland Browns Defense - *#57 David Veikune & *#56 Kaluka Maiava
Denver Broncos @ Cincinnati Bengals (KGMB7)
This game may be one-sided as a bunch of islanders are playing for the Bengals and none for the Broncos.
Cincinnati Bengals - *#58 Rey Maualuga, #68 Jonathan Fanene, #94 Domata Peko & *#37 Fui Vakapuna
Mid-morning game at 10am:
Washington Redskins @ N.Y. Giants (KHON3)
This is another one-sided game and won’t be hard to choose as Hawai’i’s favorite QB will be cheering for his team on the sidelines due to an injury. Mike Sellers has put in a strong performance throughout the pre-season on both special teams and backup duties.
Washington Redskins - Offense
#5 QB Colt Brennan (University of Hawai’i)

#45 RB Mike Sellers (Walla Walla CC)

Sunday Night (afternoon) game at 2:15pm:
Chicago Bears @ Green Bay Packers (KHNL8)
GO BEARS! What more can you say about the Bears except they have some of the best islander lineups in the NFL! Don’t miss this game as it’ll be an interesting one at Lambeau Field.
Chicago Bears - Offense
#57 C Olin Kreutz (University of Washington)
Chicago Bears - Defense
#46 S Al Afalava (Oregon State University)
#59 LB Pisa Tinoisamoa (University of Hawai’i)
