The Minnesota Vikings fell to the Philadelphia Eagles by a score of 34-28 on Thursday night. While the loss is important, the real discussion comes from how the Vikings played.
There was some good on Thursday night and in the first two games. Quarterback Kirk Cousins and wide receiver Justin Jefferson have combined for 309 yards on 20 receptions with Jordan Addison blooming as a potential star.
