Live-Blogging: Minnesota Vikings at Philadelphia Eagles 09/19/2022

​Hello, and welcome to another edition of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on Professional Football’. Tonight, it is a NFL’s Monday Night Football game, between Minnesota Vikings & Philadelphia Eagles.
 
Both teams won their opening games last week. They showed some offensive firepower. The Vikings were glad wide receiver Justin Jefferson lead them to victory over Green Bay, Last Week. While the Eagles were able to get a running game and A.J. Brown to outlast Detroit, also last week.
 
For the Vikings, they need to get a good outing in primetime from Kirk Cousins. Primetime Football is not Cousins’ Friend, as he is 9-18 in primetime games.
 
Meanwhile the Eagles, are hoping to build on last year’s wild card bounce from Tampa Bay Buccaneers. What is helping them is that they added A.J. Brown in their hopes of winning the NFC East.
 
It is Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles, coming up shortly.

Final Thoughts:
In the 1st Half, Jalen Hurts dominated Vikings with 3 TDs (1 passing, 2 rushing). In the 2nd Half, Darius Slay got 2 interceptions off Kirk Cousins. 

For the Vikings, Kirk Cousins primetime woes continue in the 2nd Half. And they did not have the answer on defense to stop Jalen Hurts. 

Vikings will head back to the Twin Cities, to face the Lions. While will head to DC, to face the Commanders. Both games will be played on Sunday.
