The Vikings were on a five-game winning streak and the Eagles had dropped their last two, but both trends were reversed on Sunday in Philadelphia. A feisty Lincoln Financial Field was the site of the Vikings first loss in 2016, as the Eagles came out on top of a 21-10 decision. Here are five takeaways from the loss.
The Vikings defense did a great job of taking the ball away, doing so four times. They intercepted quarterback Carson Wentz twice, forced him to fumble three times and came away with one of them, and then also took a fumble away from running back Ryan Mathews.
