Vikings #Vikings
MINNEAPOLIS — After a disappointing week one loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Vikings travel on a short week to face last year’s Super Bowl runners-up, the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Vikings turned the ball over three times in the 20-17 loss to the Bucs. They went three and out on both of their final two drives. Meanwhile, a Vikings defense that forced four three and outs on seven drives in the first half allowed the Bucs to get points on two of their three second-half drives.
The Eagles are coming off a nail-biting win over the New England Patriots in which they managed just one offensive touchdown. Quarterback Jalen Hurts, an MVP candidate last season, was held to just 170 yards passing and lost a fumble.
Kickoff is set for 7:15 p.m. Thursday. The latest odds have the Eagles favored by a touchdown.
