| FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Bobby Evans Jersey . - The New England Patriots let Knowshon Moreno run for 134 yards in their season opener. Now they must face Adrian Peterson. Scary? "You know what? I love it," defensive tackle Sealver Siliga said Wednesday. "This is going to be a good test and I think our teams real excited." One week after Moreno led the Miami Dolphins 191-yard rushing attack in a 33-20 win over New England, the Patriots visit Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. "First-game jitters or whatever you want to call it," Patriots linebacker Donta Hightower said. "For us to want to be a great defence, which is something that all of us agreed we wanted to do, you definitely cant allow the offence to run the ball the way they did." The Patriots also had trouble stopping Lamar Miller, who rushed for 59 yards. Now theyre preparing for another one-two punch of Peterson and wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson. Peterson rushed 21 times for 75 yards in last Sundays 34-6 win over the St. Louis Rams after finishing second in the NFL last season with 90.4 yards rushing per game. Patterson ran three times for 102 yards, including a 67-yard touchdown. "Hes definitely a tremendous athlete," Hightower said of Patterson. "You dont see many guys who can do that, come out and play receiver and then actually line up in the backfield and run the ball like a running back." But Peterson is the most dangerous threat to a New England run defence that was weak last season — better than just two teams — and got off to a bad start despite the return of defensive tackle Vince Wilfork and linebacker Jared Mayo from injuries that sidelined them most of last season. Mayo led the Patriots with 12 tackles against Miami, but Wilfork had just two and Hightower was limited to just one unassisted tackle. "We were really disappointed but (its) a new week, a new game," said Siliga, who had six tackles. "All we can do is look forward and learn from what happened and get ready for the Vikings because thats going to be a tough job." The burden will be on the defensive line to wrap Peterson up and not let him get to the linebackers level. Once there, hes liable to take off on another long run. He has 15 runs of 58 yards or more in his seven seasons before this year. Hes run for touchdowns of 64 yards or more in six of those seven seasons. And hes rushed for at least 10 touchdowns every year. "Hes big. Hes fast. Hes strong. Hes smart. He has great vision," Hightower said. "He has everything in a running back that youd want. Its going to take all of our guys being at the point of attack and everybody getting to the ball, so hes not getting that one-on-one matchup to break that tackle and get those extra yards." If Peterson is contained, New England still must contend with new offensive co-ordinator Norv Turners system with Matt Cassel throwing against his former team. Cassel expects the Patriots defence to rebound from their poor performance against the Dolphins. "They always make adjustments and then come back even stronger after a loss," he said. "Im sure there will be changes that they make in terms of scheme and everything else to get it figured out." That still may not be enough to keep the powerful, shifty Peterson from running through their defence. "A guy that big, you wouldnt expect him to be able to hit those cuts and those jump cuts that he does," Hightower said. "But thats something that hes very good at and definitely one of the reasons why hes one of the better backs in the league." Siliga was sidelined for much of the preseason and played against Miami with a heavy wrap on his injured left hand as a precaution. He could be wearing it again Sunday when he tries to tackle Peterson. "Hes hard enough back to take down with two hands, let alone one," Siliga said, "but Im up for the challenge." ___ Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Bobby Evans Youth Jersey .

But the experienced Dutch coach admits that he is disappointed not to have taken the Blues further in the Champions League and the FA Cup.Hiddinks first stint as a caretaker at Stamford Bridge was a spectacular success in 2008/09, featuring just one defeat and victory in the FA Cup. He took over on an interim basis again in December, with the reigning champions struggling towards the foot of the table after a disastrous start to the campaign under Jose Mourinho.

But, on the other hand, Chelsea have only managed one Premier League home win since Hiddink was installed, went out of the Champions League at the last-16 stage and lost an FA Cup quarter final at Everton.Asked to mark his tenure out of 10, Hiddink said: Its difficult to give a figure. Im happy the team reacted when we were in a desperate situation, when people in this house started sweating, because there are experiences in the past where big clubs can go down as well.I came here in difficult circumstances. I had to restore the confidence and more in this team and club.From there on, Im satisfied with the reaction of the team.But Im not easily happy about myself.I wouldve loved to have gone into the next round of Champions League and the FA Cup final - if that had happened I would give myself a 10 plus. Chelsea were knocked out of the Champions League by PSG Chelsea will have influence at both ends of the table over the closing weeks as they could hand Leicester the title if they beat Spurs on Monday and then have games against Sunderland, Liverpool and Leicester themselves.And Hiddink says the squad have been informed that a below-par end to the campaign will not be well received.Weve had meetings about that, he said.
