Sunday's NFL game between the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings has been postponed until Monday as heavy snow in the Minneapolis area kept the Giants from arriving Saturday, the league announced Saturday.

With more than a foot of snow blanketing the area in a storm that also brought gusting winds, the Giants' charter flight was diverted to Kansas City, where the team was forced to spend the night.
The day's delay might benefit veteran quarterback Brett Favre, whose record consecutive game starting streak of 297 games was in jeopardy because of a strained throwing shoulder.
If the 41-year-old Favre is unable to play, back-up Tarvaris Jackson will steer the Vikings (5-7) against the NFC East co-leading (8-4).
