This Eagles-Vikings matchup is one of the most enjoyable games I have looked at in a long time. The chess match was really interesting, and I thought overall Sean Desai called a great game, despite it not looking great on the stat sheets. Let’s get into why!

Defense
This game was a fantastic look at how Desai will handle a top receiver. Very early on, it seemed that they gave Darius Slay the chance to line up with Justin Jefferson one-on-one. I thought Slay was actually really good, but you just can’t cover Jefferson from these splits on routes like this.
