The Eagles still have a little thing called the Redskins standing between them and an Oct. 23 matchup with the Vikings. That's not the case for Minnesota, which improved to 5-0 yesterday with a throttling of Brock "Dead Money" Osweiler and the Texans.
The Vikings have a bye next weekend, at which point they'll begin preparing for a game that five weeks ago none of us could have dreamed up. Seems like a pretty easy assumption that Sam Bradford is already watching tape.
While watching the Eagles' 24-23 loss to the Lions on one television yesterday, I managed to catch most of the Vikings-Texans snaps on another, at least until that game was out of hand.
