Philadelphia Eagles at Minnesota Vikings: First quarter recap and second quarter discussion

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.
