NFL: MINNESOTA (1-1) at KANSAS CITY (0-2) <h3>Chiefs seek first win against Vikings</h3> Minnesota (1-1) at Kansas City (0-2) Sunday 1:00 pm EDT KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Ticker) -- Larry Johnson and the Kansas CityChiefs' offense have been virtual "no-shows" so far this season. Things do not figure to get any easier this week as Johnson andthe Chiefs host the Minnesota Vikings, who were the NFL's topteam against the run last season, in their home opener. This year, the Vikings are sixth against the run, allowing 76.0yards per game. The Chiefs do have two things going for them as they look toavoid their first 0-3 start since 2004 - dominance at home anddominance against the NFC. Kansas City boasts the NFL's best home mark since 1990 at 102-34(.750) and is an AFC-best 20-4 (.833) against the NFC since1995. But without Trent Green, the team's starting quarterback for thepast six seasons, the Chiefs have managed only one touchdown intheir first two games this season. Damon Huard has struggled as Green's successor, passing for only343 yards with three interceptions. He also has been sacked sixtimes. Johnson, the NFL's second-leading rusher last season, has gottenoff to a disappointing start with just 98 yards in two games.He rushed for 1,789 yards a year ago. The Vikings are coming off a 20-17 loss overtime to the DetroitLions and also have quarterback concerns. Tarvaris Jacksontweaked his groin on the second play of overtime, putting hisstatus for Sunday in question. If Jackson is unable to play, the Vikings will go with KellyHolcomb, who has not appeared in an NFL since starting eight of10 games for the Buffalo Bills in 2005. The Vikings fell last week despite forcing five turnovers andscoring a defensive touchdown. Two long punt returns led to 10points for the Lions.
