The Minnesota Vikings sought a winning start after their early bye week, facing the reigning Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles.
The Vikings started Carson Wentz over the injured J.J. McCarthy, creating a revenge game against the team that drafted him in 2016 and traded him in 2021.
After a dominant opening drive led to an early touchdown, the Eagles' offense stalled against a stout Minnesota defense, while the Vikings' offense struggled.
There wasn’t much vengeance to go around for anyone wearing purple.
