MINNEAPOLIS -- Teddy Bridgewater was sharp in his return from a sore arm, completing 12 of 16 passes for 161 yards and a touchdown in the first half for the Minnesota Vikings in a 23-10 exhibition victory Sunday over the San Diego Chargers in the official unveiling their new stadium.After sitting out last week, Bridgewater found Kyle Rudolph for a 27-yard score to cap a crisp 2-minute drill and led the Vikings to points on three of five possessions. Bridgewater even juked strong safety Adrian Phillips to further a 22-yard run that set up one of three field goals by Blair Walsh.The shoulders feeling great, Bridgewater said. I had some fun out there playing with the guys, and I cant wait to get back out there.Melvin Gordon, aiming to rebound from a rough rookie season, cruised through the middle of Minnesotas starting defense for a 39-yard touchdown after Philip Rivers audibled to a run upon sensing a blitz. San Diego lost running back Branden Oliver, though, to an Achilles tendon injury on his right leg that required a cart to take him off. The loss of Oliver, the primary kickoff returner and a contributing backup behind Gordon and Danny Woodhead, left the Chargers in a somber mood.I went up there as a friend and just prayed for him, Woodhead said. Thats the only thing you can do in that situation.With sunlight streaming in from the floor-to-ceiling glass on the west side and through the translucent, space-age roof, the Vikings enjoyed a gleaming debut for U.S. Bank Stadium in front of a sold-out crowd of 66,143.Its a beautiful place, coach Mike Zimmer said, as purple-clad fans watched his postgame press conference from a lounge area the team walks through to reach the field. Its just getting used to everything.The Chargers undoubtedly felt some envy, with their decade-and-a-half quest to replace 49-year-old Qualcomm Stadium unfulfilled and a move to Los Angeles a possibility. This game was conveniently scheduled for national broadcast on Fox, in case folks in San Diego were still on the fence about public funding.Rivers went 5 for 9 for 54 yards and an interception for the Chargers.With Adrian Peterson resting on the sideline, Jerick McKinnon rushed eight times for 56 yards for the Vikings.SLIPPERY STARTSeveral players on both teams lost their footing on the artificial turf during the game, one sign of the newness.I think after about five or six games it will be perfect, Gordon said. Its just got to get broken in a little bit.Zimmer said a few players told him the surface was fine.ROOKIE WATCHChargers: Sixth-round draft pick Drew Kaser dropped three punts inside the 10-yard line. Kaser, who unseated 13-year veteran Mike Scifres, averaged 50.3 gross yards on four kicks.Vikings: WR Laquon Treadwell made a tricky catch on a fade route in the corner of the end zone on a 2-point conversion pass from Shaun Hill. The first-round draft pick also had a 15-yard reception.POSITION BATTLESChargers: QB Mike Bercovici, competing with Zach Mettenberger to be the third-string QB, had passes intercepted by Vikings rookies Jayron Kearse and Mackensie Alexander. Bercovici finished just 4 for 12 for 67 yards.Vikings: Joe Berger played the whole first half at center over John Sullivan, who missed last season with a back injury and has not been assured of getting back his job. Sullivan didnt play, because the coaches wanted to evaluate the way Berger played with right guard Brandon Fusco.INJURY UPDATEChargers: Besides Oliver, RT Joe Barksdale also came out of the game in the first half, limping off with a left ankle injury.Vikings: Pruitt and SS Antone Exum left the game with left leg injuries and will have MRI exams. SS Michael Griffin hurt his back and was on crutches afterward.QUOTABLEChargers: DT Corey Liuget, on four fumbles forced, two recovered, by the defense: Its great. For a fat guy like myself, every chance I can get off the field, I want it. I give a big credit to our secondary.Vikings: Rudolph on Bridgewater: I dont think its possible for Teddy to be more calm.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale Custom Nike Baseball Jerseys .

Hull City will finally have a permanent manager at the helm when they travel to the south coast of England to face Bournemouth on Saturday.Mike Phelan has been in charge of Hull (2-1-4) on a caretaker basis for the opening seven games this season, but agreed to a full-time contract with the Humberside club on Thursday to end this managerial uncertainty.Its exciting to step over that threshold into management, and Im looking forward to working with this group of players that has done so well so far, Phelan said. It has taken time, but things have to be done correctly with these matters.What is important now is that we move forward and help this squad of players be successful for this football club. Im looking forward to what is to come now, so roll on the next few games.The deal is a just reward for a coach who sparked an unexpectedly bright start to the season for the Tigers, who beat both Leicester City and Swansea City in their opening two games.As surprising as that six-point opening was, it was also necessary given the daunting nature of the clubs following fixtures. A draw with Burnley is the only point Hull have picked up since matchday 2, with Phelans side being beaten in four of their last five -- albeit against big-hitters Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea.Having ridden out that rough run of games and sunk back down to a much more expected 15th-place position in the table, Hull now have the opportunity to start racking up wins in this crucial busy period of the season before the relegation race really starts to heat up after ChristmasWeve got six or seven big games coming up against teamms that are likely to be in and around us in the table, rather than the run we had recently when we were up against a lot of the big teams in this league, full-back Andy Robertson said.ddddddddddddAnd he isnt wrong.Hulls upcoming run of games represents an important period of the season, and -- crucially -- this trip to Bournemouth (2-2-3) will feel like a fresh start for the players after their two-week break from club football due to the international fixtures.Im really looking forward to the weekend and its always good when the group gets back together after an international break, Scotland international Robertson added.It has felt like a long two weeks since we last played, so were all looking forward to traveling down to Bournemouth and we hope to come back with a positive result. We need to be at our best to take something from the game at Bournemouth and that is what we are aiming to do.In contrast, hosts Bournemouth have very few players with international commitments, which has given highly-rated young manager Eddie Howe a fortnight to continue developing his teams tactics and style after a run of positive displays that saw the Cherries lose just one of their five matches before the season interlude.I always view it as an opportunity, the Bournemouth manager admitted last week, when asked about the international break. Its a chance for us to really work with the players individually and collectively.This meeting will be the first ever between the teams in top-flight history. ' ' '
