A look inside Monday Night Football. Vikings punter Chris Kluwe is on the field at the Metrodome in pregame warmups, and if what he's practicing before the game is what he's planning to do during the game, Bears return man Devin Hester shouldn't expect to touch the ball much today. Kluwe is standing in the middle of the field and booting his warmup punts out of bounds.
Considering that Kyle Orton is the starting quarterback for the Bears tonight, that seems like the right move: The Bears' offense isn't likely to put many points on the board, meaning the Vikings just need to avoid letting Hester beat them.
As for kickoffs, I turned to the resident kicking expert, Mike Black, a former Boise State kicker who now works as Mike Tirico's spotter on Monday Night Football. He said the Vikings will squib their kickoffs to avoid Hester.
