 Here’s how you can watch Sunday’s game between the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles.

One of the best games on the NFL’s Week 8 slated will feature the 5-0 Minnesota Vikings and the 3-2 Philadelphia Eagles. The Vikings went into their Week 6 bye with a decisive 31-13 win over the Houston Texans in Week 5, while the Eagles have lost two road games in a row since their own bye week.

Sunday’s game carries an extra layer of intrigue, with the Eagles trading quarterback Sam Bradford to the Vikings on Sept. 3 after Teddy Bridgewater’s significant season-ending knee injury in practice a few days earlier. The Eagles turned a previous sentiment regarding rookie quarterback Carson Wentz fairly dramatically by dealing Bradford, and after an excellent start the “Wentz Wagon” has slowed down a bit.

Both teams are surely happy with their quarterback choice though. Bradford has operated efficiently behind a strong Vikings’ defense, and Wentz has surely been everything the Eagles thought he could be when they traded up aggressively to draft him last spring.

Here’s how you can watch Sunday’s game.

These two teams own the two highest point differentials in the NFC right now, with the Eagles (+57) one point ahead of the Vikings. Stingy defense has helped drive that relative domination, as Minnesota is first in the NFL in points against (12.6 per game) while Philadelphia is third in points against (15.6 per game) entering the week.

This game isn’t likely to be high-scoring, but it should be close throughout. By putting their No. 1 announce team on it, with Brennaman pinch-hitting for Joe Buck, Fox clearly sees Vikings-Eagles as the best game available to them this week.
