The Philadelphia Eagles will host the Minnesota Vikings for an exciting Week 7 matchup. Here are all the highlights, the game recap, and the final score.

0. 60. Final. 0. 54

In what is probably the best game on the Week 7 schedule, the Philadelphia Eagles will host the undefeated Minnesota Vikings. Kickoff from Lincoln Financial Field will be at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, October 23rd. FOX will have the telecast.

Minnesota is coming off its Week 6 bye, still perfect at 5-0. The Vikings are winning ball games with great defensive play. Their defensive prowess has helped offset attrition to the Vikings offense due one injury after another.

Philadelphia began the year at 3-0. However, the Eagles way-too-early Week 4 bye took all the momentum out of this young team’s sails. Philadelphia is now 3-2 and are in the toughest part of their 2016 schedule. Wins might be hard to come by in the next month or so.

Three Stars

  1. Jerick McKinnon: This will be a low-scoring game in Philadelphia. Though the Vikings have struggled to run the football in 2016, look for McKinnon to have a great day on Sunday. He’ll have 100 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns.
  2. Jordan Matthews: The best way for quarterback Carson Wentz to dissect the elite Vikings secondary is targeting a reliable possession receiver. Look for Matthews to have six catches for 85 yards and a touchdown.
  3. Sam Bradford: Bradford will play with poise, but might have his worst start of 2016 against a solid Eagles pass rush. He’ll complete 58% of his passes for 225 yards and a touchdown.

Next Game

The Vikings should have an absolute cakewalk on Halloween. They’ll be on the road in Chicago on Monday Night Football, but the Chicago Bears are absolutely dreadful. Kickoff from Soldier Field will be at 8:30 PM ET on October 31st. Spooky!
