In their first two road games of the season, the Vikings rebounded from 10-0 deficits. If they’re going to run their record to 6-0, the Vikings will need to dig their way out of a 15-point hole.
The Eagles lead 18-3 in a game full of turnovers, with three from each team’s starting quarterback.
Minnesota eventually became the first team to score, with a 48-yard field goal by kicker Blair Walsh. The ensuing kickoff was returned 98 yards by Josh Huff for a touchdown, thanks in part to Walsh impersonating a matador a full eight days before Halloween.
The Eagles added a field goal before halftime, thanks to a nifty run by Carson Wentz on fourth and two after he mishandled the shotgun snap.
The home team then drove 77 yards in nine plays with its first drive of the second half to extend the lead.
Minnesota’s offense has been consistently stymied by an aggressive Eagles defense, which has consistently pressured and confused Sam Bradford.
