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!

Big third period lifts Gophers men’s hockey at North Dakota; women fall to Ohio State for first loss of season


The Gophers play host to Minnesota Duluth next weekend.

The loss was the first of the season for the Gophers (6-1, 2-1 WCHA), who went into the game as the top-scoring team in the nation with 6.1 goals per game and 37 goals overall.

The Buckeyes (5-0, 3-0) held Gophers forward Abbey Murphy, who went into the game leading the nation with 12 goals and 18 points, scoreless for the first time this season.

“Obviously, not the result we wanted,” Gophers coach Brad Frost told reporters. “We had some great chances. [Goalie Hannah] Clark played real well. We had some chances, but we just didn’t execute. Madison [Kaiser] got us a little life in the third and allowed us to pull our goalie, but again, poor execution and it ends up in our net. So, we’ve got to learn from it and do better tomorrow.”

Kassidy Carmichael scored with seven seconds left on the power play to give the Buckeyes a 1-0 lead with 17:18 remaining in the first period.
