Vikings' Troy Williamson takes personal time away from the team to attend services of his maternal grandmother. He did not play in that week's game and therefore, was not paid. Veteran players met with Head Coach Brad Childress. By midweek, Williamson received the withheld check, which he donated to charity.
Quote of the Week: "Steve Smith was seen weeping at the end of the game quite possible because he had to watch it," Keith Olberman of NBC's Sunday Night Football--Football Night in America.
