In a move that likely doesn’t surprise anyone, including Tarvaris Jackson, Minnesota’s Brad Childress has decided to bench his third-year QB in favor of veteran Gus Frerotte after the Vikings’ 0-2 start.

New England won their opener against Kansas City, but in case you haven’t somehow heard by now, lost Tom Brady for the remainder of the season with a torn ACL.
