MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Vikings have moved into U.S. Bank Stadium, where theyll host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night in the first regular-season game at the $1.1 billion venue. Heres a look back at a dozen of the most memorable moments from their previous home fields, including a pair of bonus headline-grabbers from their brief stay at the University of Minnesota:METROPOLITAN STADIUM (1961-1981)Sept. 17, 1961 -- The Vikings marked the expansion franchises first regular-season game with a 37-13 upset of division rival Chicago. The victory was fueled by five forced turnovers by the defense and four touchdown passes by Fran Tarkenton.Jan. 4, 1970 -- The Vikings beat Cleveland 27-7 to become the first modern-era expansion team to win the NFL championship game, the last of its kind before the AFL merger created two conferences. The Vikings went on to their first of four Super Bowl losses.Dec. 29, 1975 -- After posting an NFL-best 12-2 record in the regular season, the Vikings were upset 17-14 at home in the playoffs by Dallas on a last-second 50-yard touchdown pass from Roger Staubach to Drew Pearson. Pearson landed out of bounds, but the officials ruled he wouldve been in without midair contact by Nate Wright. The Vikings believed Pearson actually pushed off on Wright for leverage. The play became known as the first Hail Mary pass, because of Staubachs claim to have uttered a desperate prayer before the throw.Dec. 14, 1980 -- The Hail Mary went the home teams way on the games final play when Tommy Kramer connected with Ahmad Rashad on a deflected 46-yard completion to give the Vikings a 28-23 victory over Cleveland to clinch their 11th division title in the last 13 years.THE METRODOME (1982-2013)Oct. 15, 1989 -- Herschel Walker, acquired three days earlier in a whopper of a trade with Dallas, rushed for 148 yards in his debut for Minnesota including a 47-yard romp during which he shed one of his shoes. The Vikings beat Green Bay 26-14.Sept. 6, 1998 -- Rookie Randy Moss started his career with two touchdown catches during a 31-7 victory over Tampa Bay. The Vikings finished 15-1 in the regular season and set what was then the NFL record by scoring 556 points.Jan. 17, 1999 -- Gary Andersons first missed kick of the season came in the NFC championship game, with 2:07 left in the fourth quarter and the Vikings leading by seven points. Atlanta rallied for the tie, and then the winning field goal by Morten Andersen in a 30-27 overtime decision.Nov. 4, 2007 -- Rookie Adrian Peterson set the NFLs all-time single-game rushing record with 296 yards. The Vikings won 35-17 despite a 109-yard touchdown return by San Diegos Antonio Cromartie of a missed field goal at the end of the first half.Sept. 27, 2009 -- Brett Favre threaded a 32-yard touchdown pass through San Franciscos defense to Greg Lewis with 2 seconds left. That gave the Vikings a 27-24 victory early in a season that ended in the NFC championship game. Eight days later, Favre engineered an inspired 30-23 victory over his old team, Green Bay.Dec. 30, 2012 -- Peterson rushed for 199 yards to raise his season total to 2,097, leaving him 9 short of breaking Eric Dickersons all-time NFL record. Peterson led the Vikings to a 37-34 victory over Green Bay to get the last spot in the NFC playoffs.TCF BANK STADIUM (2014-2015)Dec. 20, 2010 -- Favre leaves what becomes the last game of the Hall of Fame quarterbacks 20-year career with a concussion, after being slammed down by Bears defensive end Corey Wootton on a frigid night. The matchup was moved outside by the snowstorm-caused collapse of the Metrodome roof eight days earlier.Jan. 10, 2016 -- The coldest game in franchise history with a kickoff temperature of minus-6 degrees takes place in the wild-card round of the NFC playoffs.

The Bengals have the daunting challenge of leaving home for the second week, too, which is usually too much travel for an NFL team.Cincinnati has never won back-to-back road games to open a season, and its in good company on that one.Over the past two seasons, nine teams opened with back-to-back road games. None of them went 2-0. The previous team to open with two road wins was Miami in 2013, when the Dolphins won at Cleveland and at Indianapolis.The Bengals are accustomed to opening on the road -- itll be their seventh straight season with an away game when they play at the Jets on Sunday -- but theyve got a tall order.Theyve never won at the Meadowlands. The following week, they play at Pittsburgh, renewing their raw AFC North rivalry.Theyd like to think that theyve gotten the hang of winning the first game on the road, beating Oakland and Baltimore each of the past two years. This will be something else, however.Its crazy, defensive end Carlos Dunlap said. We were talking about that the other day. Weve had great results with that. We just have to continue to start this trek off right. Go out there and make those plays and shut (Jets fans) up quick and early. Send them to the concession stands. Go get a drink because the team is struggling. Something like that.The Bengals have kept the core of their team together for the past few years, even though it has lost in the first round of the playoffs for an NFL-record five straight seasons.Beginning a season with the roster virtually intact lends an advantage over teams that are working in new players.Plus, having experienced so many road openers makes it feel more like a routine.No question it does, cooach Marvin Lewis said.dddddddddddd Were not going to be a deer in the headlights. I can remember back in the day, going to Baltimore and telling the rookies: `Make sure you have a good seat to watch Ray Lewis dance. We go through that. Its good stuff. That why when it happens, theyre at ease with it. They expect it.Winning that first game also carries over some of the confidence from the last playoff season.Absolutely, Andy Dalton said. Its big. You want to start fast. You want to get ahead as much as you can.Winning these first two will be a huge challenge. The Bengals have never done well in New York. Theyre 0-3 against the Giants and 2-12 against the Jets, dropping their past nine. Cincinnatis last win over the Jets in New York was a 31-30 victory at Shea Stadium in 1981, the first season that the Bengals reached the Super Bowl.Its the fourth time in franchise history that theyve opened with a pair of road games. They started 0-2 in both 1979 and 1996. In 2011, they won at Cleveland in Daltons rookie debut and lost at Denver a week later.It is never an easy assignment to go on the road, let alone a home opener with all the pageantry and everything that goes on in the stadiums during home openers, Lewis said. I guess we get to do it two weeks in a row.Game notes The Jets have won five consecutive home openers, the longest active streak in the AFC. ... The Bengals beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh last season, then lost to them twice at Paul Brown Stadium, including the 18-16 playoff defeat.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
