Coming into the game against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7, most people expected the returning Super Bowl champions to attack the Minnesota Vikings early and often on the ground with their strong rushing attack
Instead, the Eagles only had 45 rushing yards on the day. Star running back Saquon Barkley had 18 carries for 44 yards, Tank Bigsby had one run for 11 yards, and quarterback Jalen Hurts lost 10 yards in the game, with none of them running in a score.
Instead, the Vikings were dominated through the air by the Eagles. Hurts had a perfect passer rating against Minnesota, gaining 326 yards on 19 completions and tossing three touchdowns against Brian Flores' defense.
