PHILADELPHIA — On Sunday, the Vikings turned the ball over three times in the first half against Tampa Bay, including a crushing sequence where Christian Izien ripped a pass away from K.J. Osborn for an interception just before halftime.
Their quartet of turnovers in the first 31 minutes of Thursday's game might have been more inexplicable. It certainly was more costly in a 34-28 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field.
Justin Evans' strip of Brandon Powell, following a 19-yard punt return to the Eagles' 35, wiped out the Vikings' first chance to take the lead in the first quarter.
