This was more like the version of the Eagles that was expected in the season opener in Detroit. It arrived a week later, but the Eagles got a strong glimpse of what they could be in a 24-7 demolition of the visiting Minnesota Vikings on Monday night at Lincoln Financial Field.
Again, Jalen Hurts excelled.
He completed 26 of 31 for 333 yards and a touchdown, scoring twice on the ground, while directing the Eagles’ offense for 486 yards of total offense.
For as well as Hurts looked on offense, Darius Slay was just as incomparable on defense.
