Storm pushes Vikings-Giants to Monday night

The game originally scheduled Sunday afternoon between the Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants has been postponed until Monday night.

The game at Mall of America Field will take place Monday at 8 p.m. ET because of a snowstorm.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed the decision in an e-mail message Saturday night, with the Giants stuck in Kansas City because of the weather in Minnesota that brought 15 or more inches of snow.

Kickoff time and television arrangements were still being determined.

The delay gives quarterback Brett Favre another day to heal. Favre is aiming to make his NFL-record 298th straight start for Minnesota (5-7), with a sprained shoulder that has made throwing difficult. He's listed as questionable to play the Giants (8-4).
