Philadelphia Eagles at Minnesota Vikings: Third Quarter Recap and Fourth Quarter Discussion
Once again, it’s time to get those four fingers up above your head. We’re heading to the final quarter of play at U.S. Bank Stadium, and our Minnesota Vikings are trailing the Philadelphia Eagles by a score of 21-16.
The Vikings got the football first to start the second half after deferring on the opening coin toss. Myles Price got things started with a nice return to set the Vikings up at midfield. The Minnesota offense did push down into the red zone, but then Carson Wentz picked up an inexplicable intentional grounding penalty and the Vikings settled for another Will Reichard field goal, a 28-yarder to make it 14-9.
The Eagles then struck immediately on their next drive, as Jalen Hurts dropped back to pass and found a wide open Devonta Smith behind the Vikings’ defense for a 79-yard touchdown, and just like that it was 21-9.
The Vikings finally got into the end zone on their next drive, courtesy of Jordan Mason. He took a direct snap and managed to barely outrun the Eagles’ defense to the left pylon for a 1-yard touchdown to make it 21-16 with just under four minutes remaining in the third quarter.
The Eagles have moved the ball into Minnesota territory, and as we move to the fourth quarter they’re looking at a 3rd-and-5 from the Minnesota 23-yard line.
Can the Vikings figure out a way to put together a come-from-behind win against the defending world champs? That’s what it’s going to take, as they trail the Eagles going into the fourth quarter by a score of 21-16. Come join us for the conclusion of this one!
