MINNEAPOLIS -- Never mind Jared Goffs status as the first overall pick in the draft for Los Angeles.For now, with a lot left to learn, hes the third-stringer.Goffs first start of the preseason for the Rams featured two turnovers and one touchdown, as the Minnesota reserve running backs led a 27-25 victory by the Vikings on Thursday night.Playing the whole first half, Goff finished 6 for 16 for 67 yards. Coach Jeff Fisher said hed lean toward Sean Mannion as the primary backup quarterback behind starter Case Keenum.Hes made significant progress. Hes comfortable. He understands things. Hes progressed, Rams coach Jeff Fisher said, preaching patience for Goff: I think its going to take a bit more time.Goff capped the first drive with deft touch on a 1-yard scoring pass to Kenny Britt, but ugliness ensued. The Rams punted on the next four possessions. Then Goff dropped a shotgun snap for a fumble at his 9-yard line, setting up the second field goal for the Vikings by Blair Walsh. A minute later, Justin Trattou tripped Goffs pass at the line and defensive tackle Toby Johnson made a diving interception at the 28.I think Im on the way to where I want to be, Goff said. I just need to continue making progress.Jhurell Pressley turned a short throw by Brad Sorensen into a 28-yard touchdown reception on the next play. Pressley also returned a kickoff 106 yards for a score, and C.J. Ham carried 15 times for 59 yards and a touchdown. After each score, the Vikings showed off their new stadium by dimming the lights, blaring Princes hit Lets Go Crazy! and flashing purple and gold bulbs around the ceiling.With Adrian Peterson, Jerick McKinnon and Matt Asiata well established as the running backs, theres no room for the undrafted rookies Pressley (New Mexico) or Ham (Division II Augustana in South Dakota). But they each made a strong case for the practice squad or another team.After losing Teddy Bridgewater for the season to a major knee injury just two days ago, the Vikings kept new starting quarterback Shaun Hill safely on the sideline. Undrafted rookie Joel Stave went 9 for 18 for 76 yards and left with the team called a hand injury. Sorensen took over for the rest of the game, but with Taylor Heinicke still on the non-football injury list Stave might have landed a roster spot.I thought he managed the games good. I thought he threw the ball well, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said.Rob Havenstein started at right tackle for the Rams, after recently returning to practice from a foot injury.ROOKIE WATCHRams: With the starting defensive linemen resting, DT Morgan Fox took advantage of the extra playing time with two sacks and four QB hurries in the first half. Fox was undrafted out of NCAA Division II school Colorado State-Pueblo.Vikings: First-round draft pick Laquon Treadwell started at WR but dropped a pair of passes. He was targeted four times but didnt record a reception.POSITION BATTLESRams: Rookie WR Paul McRoberts, part of a large bubble at the position behind starters Britt and Tavon Austin and fourth-round draft pick Pharoh Cooper, caught a short TD pass from Sean Mannion midway through the fourth quarter. McRoberts was undrafted out of Southeast Missouri State.Vikings: Sixth-round draft pick David Morgan, vying for a spot as a fourth TE, recovered a fumble and had two catches for 15 yards as well as an offensive pass interference penalty.INJURY UPDATERams: LB Bryce Hager, who started in place of Alec Ogletree in the middle, limped off the field after Minnesotas second play from scrimmage.Vikings: CB Jabari Price, a seventh-round draft pick in 2014 on the roster fringe, limped off in the fourth quarter unable to put weight on his right knee.QUOTABLE:Rams: Fox, on playing behind the front four of William Hayes, Aaron Donald, Michael Brockers and Robert Quinn: It has been an incredible honor and privilege to be around that kind of talent.Vikings: Peterson, on Hill: Shaun will do a great job for us, and I have confidence in him and what hes able to do.---AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Air Jordan 3 Retro Black .J. -- Marshawn Lynch said Thursday it will be good to get back to football after the Seattle quiet talking running back wrapped up his final mandatory media session of Super Bowl week.

LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string. Cris Cyborg Justino, the No. 1 female fighter in the world, posted an online video this week that showed her arguing with renowned nutritionist George Lockhart.In the video, Justino is shown questioning Lockharts decision to place her on birth control for the purpose of weight management during her recent camp. The video drew nearly 50,000 views the day it was published.As Justino (16-1) prepares for her second fight in the UFC, a 140-pound catchweight bout against Lina Lansberg at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Brazil, much (if not all) of the prefight focus is on her weight -- which has been the case for years.Justino has been a 145-pound champion in multiple promotions, but the UFC does not promote a female weight class above 135. To this point, the highest weight the UFC has been willing to offer Justino is a 140-pound catchweight.According to UFC officials, Justino weighed in, clothed, at 156 pounds on Tuesday morning. Thats over the UFCs recommendation of a check-in weight, which is within 8 percent of contracted weight. The UFC said its monitoring Justinos health as a result. Lockhart assured ESPN.com via text, Everything is where it needs to be.Justino, 31, told ESPN.com the addition of birth control pills made her feel heavier during fight preparations, which has her visibly stressed this week.In my last UFC fight, I had a hard time making 140, Justino said. Then this camp, something different happened. George Lockhart gave me birth control and said it would help me to cut weight. All my camp, I trained really hard. I trained double because I feel my body was different. And then this makes me really nervous. The difference is the birth control.UFC vice president of health and performance Jeff Novitzky told ESPN.com, The health and safety of our athletes comes first and foremost, so our team in Brazil will be monitoring the situation closely and staying in constant communication with Cris and her team.It all begs the question why Justino is fighting at 140 pounds at all. A reasonable answer is the UFC might still hold some desire to book her at 135. For a long time, that was the caveat for a proposed superfight between Justino and former UFC champion Ronda Rousey. The UFC and Rousey repeeatedly said that matchup would have to take place at 135 pounds with a title on the line.ddddddddddddJustino, however, has shut down cutting any lower than 140. Money talks, so you can never completely rule out something in this sport -- but within the last year, Justino has taken a pretty concrete stance against ever fighting at 135.I already said 135 is off the table, Justino said. They know I cannot make 135. Its too hard for me, and everybody who saw me when I cut to 140 knows. Its not healthy. Im not looking to be the champion at 135 -- I just want to make a superfight.Another potential issue, however, is finding a legitimate opponent to fight Justino at 145 pounds. UFC bantamweight Leslie Smith agreed to fight at 140 pounds for Justinos promotional debut in May, and she weighed in only at 139 pounds.Lansberg (6-1) told ESPN.com she has fought the majority of her MMA career at 135 pounds and intends to continue at that weight following this weekend. She believes she was pegged as Justinos opponent because she has fought at higher weights previously during an extended Muay Thai career.I did expect a call from the UFC sooner or later, but I did not expect Cyborg to be the first fight, Lansberg said. I think my Muay Thai career is why they wanted me to fight at 140. Its hard for them to find an opponent for her, and somebody with my background, who has had more than 80 Muay Thai fights, Im a good opponent for her. After this fight, Ill be back at 135.UFC president Dana White recently said the promotion still has no plans in the near future of adding Justinos 145-pound weight class. Justino provided a similar outlook when asked about that possibility, responding, I really dont know.Its a situation the UFC and Justino are hopefully able to resolve, regardless of what happens this weekend. As it stands, booking Justino to non-title, 140-pound catchweight bouts against seemingly inferior opponents isnt taking us anywhere. As nice as it is to simply see her fighting in the UFC, it would be nicer to see her in a narrative that has to do with something other than weight.
