This looked to be one of the better Thursday Night Football games when the schedule was released. Last week though, the Minnesota Vikings looked out of practice and lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home. This loss could be a big blow to the Vikings chances at the NFC playoffs later this season, especially if they do not improve. A second conference loss and starting 0-2 is looking more likely as the Vikings travel to the on a short week. The Eagles were rusty in week 1 but still won a close game against the New England Patriots.
