MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — When the Philadelphia Eagles arrive in Minnesota, their first visit since winning Super Bowl 52, there might be some subtle reminders at U.S. Bank Stadium of the scene that night when the franchise’s first Lombardi Trophy was secured.
They’ll have to look and think hard, though. The interior decoration will be different, downtown Minneapolis won’t be decked out for the seminal event, and while the air might be chilly there won’t be below-zero temperatures like that frosty week in early February 2018.
Two seasons later is like an eternity in the what-have-you-done-lately NFL, so don’t expect the Eagles (3-2) to treat this game on Sunday against the Vikings (3-2) as a stop on some nostalgia tour of the Twin Cities area.
