Eagles-Vikings Boxscore
There was a reason why the Eagles were favored in this game that was played at the Thunderdome. The Eagles have something that the Viking have had a big question mark all season a NFL starting QB.
The Vikes were without a couple of key players in this game: Phat Pat Williams, Ray Edwards, and Artis Hicks. This game was a defensive battle most of the game. There were two KEY plays that the Eagles made that did the Vikes in. The interception for a touchdown thrown by Tarvaris Jackson and the 71 yard touchdown screen pass to Brian Westbrook in the fourth quarter that put the final nail in the coffin for the Vikes season.
In the first half, the Viking offense was dong okay, but in the second half the Eagles defense really got to Jackson. For the game, he was 15-35 164 yards passing 1INT(went for a TD). The way that Jackson played just showned Viking fan that he clearly is not that answer at the quarterback position.
Adrain Peterson had a good day against a decent Eagles team. He ran for 83 yards two touchdowns(44,3), but both were in the first half.
The special teams were not help either with the Eagles having good field postion most of the game with the contrubition of DeSean Jackson.
The defense played a solid game most of the night with the exception of the Brain Westbrook 71 yard touchdown reception. Jared Allen was a freak on a leash with two sacks a forced fumbled that Fred Evans recovered. Inside a minute, Cedric Griffin interception a McNabb pass. Even without Phat pat the Eagles were not able to run the ball much at all, they had a couple of nice runs bur nothing they could keep going. McNabb had a good game against the Vikes again passing for 300 yards.
With the questions of what the Vikes will be doing at the QB position still remain. Will the Vikes take a closer look at John David Booty, give up 2 1st round draft picks Matt Cassel, free agentcy or try drafting an unproven rookie QB.
The season was a roller coaster one as always with the Vikes up and down. Now it is down for a couple more months. This season, they won the NFC North (the first title in 8 years), made the playoffs(1st in 4 years),Adrain Peterson won the rushing title(1st Viking ever to do this),Berrain and Allen performed worth what the Vikes signed for them.Overall, it was kind of disappointing, because any fan wants their team to go and win the Super Bowl, but they did make the playoffs. We shall see what next year will hold for us.
