Vikings - Eagles Recap

Offense

Kirk Cousins had a day
Looked ELITE
Loved the throws to tight windows.
Stayed calm and rolled out when needed
Missed a couple throws - TD to Adam Thielen and long throw to Diggs (TBD)
THE DIME TO Laquon Treadwell
THE DIME TO Adam Thielen
THE DIME TO Stefon Diggs (TD 3)

Stefon Diggs pops off for 167 / 3 - 2 drops - 1 crucial
122 rushing yards - PHI allowed: 28 / 57 / 86 / 77 / 67 entering the game
Aggressive downfield deep shots
Garrett Bradbury had his best game of his career
Rashod Hill surrenders zero (0) pressures in relief of Riley Reiff
Brian O’Neill has yet to surrender a sack in the NFL

Special Teams

Fake FG - Everson Griffen second career INT
Britton Colquitt is an elite holder
Still waiting for the Marcus Sherels Return TD
Dan Bailey solid again

Defense

Did enough and stood-up when needed
Misdirection plays hurt us along with RBs out of the backfield
Xavier Rhodes had more miscues

Did like the rotation of Mike Hughes / Trae Waynes / Xavier Rhodes
Mackensie Alexander with the big INT
Danielle Hunter with a sack - sets record for most sacks before 25th bday and still has two more games to add to it.

Detroit Predictions

Tough ballgame.
