I still can’t believe it.
I’ve been sitting here in the press box at Lincoln Financial Field, staring down at the field where the Philadelphia Eagles just defeated the Minnesota Vikings in the 2018 NFC Championship Game.
And the Eagles didn’t just merely “defeat” the Vikings. They freaking kicked their ass. The final score was 38 to 7. The Vikings scored a touchdown on their first drive and that was it for them. It was a shutout from that moment on.
This game was very fitting. Much like the Eagles’ 2017 season, it defied expectation.
