Jalen Hurts, Eagles dominate Minnesota Vikings in home opener

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — It’s the day Eagles fans have been waiting months for — the home opener. The Birds are back at Lincoln Financial Field, hosting the Minnesota Vikings in a Week 2 Monday Night Football showdown. 

And Eagles fans are probably happy about the way the game turned out. 

The Eagles dominated on both sides of the ball to beat the Vikings, 24-7. 

Jalen Hurts recorded three total touchdowns — two on the ground and one through the air — and Darius Slay had two interceptions as the Eagles dominated the Vikings, 24-7, Monday night at Lincoln Financial Field. 

Hurts played a near perfect game. He went 26 for 31 through the air for 333 yards and recorded 57 rushing yards on 11 carries. His touchdown pass went to Quez Watkins early in the second quarter. 

The Eagles’ defense nearly pitched a shutout after getting thrashed by the Detroit Lions last week.
