We’re through one quarter of action at U.S. Bank Stadium, and the Minnesota Vikings have scored on both of their possessions to give themselves a 10-0 lead over the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Vikings got the football first in this one, and put together an outstanding opening drive. Kirk Cousins converted an outstanding third-and-long with a 20-yard pass to a diving Adam Thielen, and the team had themselves facing a 1st-and-goal from the Philadelphia 5-yard line. After Dalvin Cook was tackled for a loss on first down, Cousins and Thielen connected again on a beautiful 6-yard touchdown pass to give the good guys an early lead.
