What TV channel is Vikings-Eagles tonight? Live stream, time, how to watch online

The Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles face off on Monday, Sept. 19. The game will be live streamed on DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (live stream).

Still the offensive coordinator in Indianapolis, Nick Sirianni could not miss an opportunity to scout some of the loaded talent that littered the rosters of LSU and Clemson in the 2020 national championship game.

Trevor Lawrence and Joe Burrow were the can’t-miss QBs.

Sirianni, though, also kept an eye on LSU’s Justin Jefferson, the dynamic receiver who had nine catches for 106 yards and sent the Tigers to the national title.

The enjoyment from his play might dim a bit Monday night if Sirianni — in his second season as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles — has to watch Jefferson — in his third season as a Pro Bowl receiver for the Minnesota Vikings — put up big numbers against a maligned Eagles defense.

After accumulating the most yards receiving in NFL history over a player’s first two seasons, Jefferson went wild in the opening win over the Green Bay Packers with 184 receiving yards and two TDs. He had a franchise-record 158 receiving yards in the first half.

DeVonta Smith (who somehow did not have a catch in the Eagles’ 38-35 win over Detroit) and A.J. Brown just might be the best pairing in franchise history. Brown caught 10 passes for 155 yards, tying his career high, in his Eagles debut on Sunday and quickly has become QB Jalen Hurts’ go-to option on the outside. The Eagles traded the No. 18 overall pick and a third-rounder to the Tennessee Titans on draft day for Brown, who then signed a four-year deal with $57 million guaranteed.

Smith set a club rookie record last season with 916 yards receiving, but went without a catch against the Lions while being targeted just four times. It’s likely Hurts will look to get Smith more involved against Minnesota.

When is Vikings-Eagles?

The Vikings play the Eagles at 7:30 p.m. (8:30 p.m. ET) Monday, Sept. 19.

Preview

NEW HOME FOR HICKS: Reagor isn’t the only former Eagles player visiting with the Vikings. Linebacker Jordan Hicks, who tied a career high with 14 tackles and had a sack and a forced fumble in his debut for Minnesota last week, played the first four years of his career for Philadelphia and was a starter on the Super Bowl championship team in the 2018 season.

Hicks played the last three years for Arizona before signing with the Vikings as a free agent to join stalwart Eric Kendricks in the middle of their revamped scheme under new defensive coordinator Ed Donatell.

READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL: Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins, after losing the first nine starts of his career in Monday night games, has won two of those in a row — at Chicago in 2020 and 2021.

He’s 2-3 with the Vikings on Monday nights. Minnesota, 5-10 in its last 15 games on Monday night, last played at Philadelphia on Monday night on Sept. 20, 2004, a 27-16 loss.

PRETTY, PRETTY GOOD: Greg Joseph kicked a career-best 56-yard field goal in the opener for the Vikings and has missed only one FG (from 53 yards) over his last 12 games.

Not bad. But how about this? Harrison Smith got his 30th career interception last week against the Packers. That’s the most among active NFL safeties since he entered the league in 2012.
