Vikings vs. Eagles date, start time
* Date: Thursday, Sept. 14
* Kick-off: 8:15 p.m. ET / 1:15 a.m. UK (Friday) / 2:15 a.m. CET (Friday)
Both teams had lackluster Week 1 performances; the Eagles narrowly escaped defeat against the Patriots, while the Vikings fell to Baker Mayfield's Bucs despite outgaining them by 127 yards on fewer plays.
Minnesota's ing game shines with Jordan Addison, Justin Jefferson, and TJ Hockenson. Facing a defense that allowed Mac Jones to thrive in Week 1 is promising. Philly's defense has many new faces, and two starting DBs are questionable, possibly favoring the Vikings' ing game.
Injury concerns, including a concussion for James Bradberry and a rib issue for Reed Blankenship, could challenge the Eagles' defense.
