Eagles Hang On to Win Despite Sluggish Start
Description
The Eagles overcame a sluggish start to beat the Vikings 34-28, thanks to a strong running game and turnovers.
Introduction
The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Minnesota Vikings 34-28 on Thursday Night Football, despite getting off to a slow start.
The Eagles' offense had a hard time getting going in the first half, but a strong running game and a few key mistakes helped them turn things around in the second half.
D'Andre Swift ran for a career-high 175 yards and two touchdowns, while DeVonta Smith had four catches for 131 yards and a touchdown. Jalen Hurts also threw for a score and 196 yards.
Kirk Cousins was in charge of the Vikings, and he threw for 294 yards and two scores. But Minnesota's offense was ruined by four turnovers, including a fumble by Cousins that Fletcher Cox picked up and ran back for a score.
The Eagles' defense also did a great job, causing the Vikings to kick two field goals and keeping them from running for more than 30 yards.
With this win, the Eagles are now 2-0 to start the season. On Sunday, September 25, they'll play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Key Takeaways
The Eagles' ability to run the ball was the key to their win. Swift and Miles Sanders worked together to get a total of 250 yards and three scores.
The key to the Eagles' win was that their defense made four mistakes.
All night, the Vikings' offense had trouble getting going. They were only able to score 28 points, which is the fewest points they have scored all season.
Looking Ahead
When they play the Buccaneers next week, the Eagles will face a tough test. The Buccaneers are one of the best teams in the NFL, and they will be a big test for the Eagles.
But the Eagles are playing with a lot of confidence and energy right now. If they can keep running the ball well and make the other team turn it over, they will have a good chance of winning the game.
