Nordo's Numbers: Week 7 vs. Philadelphia
The Minnesota Vikings sought to start winning after their early bye week, facing the reigning Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles.
The Vikings started Carson Wentz over the injured J.J. McCarthy, creating a revenge game against the team that drafted him in 2016 and traded him in 2021.
After a dominant opening drive led to an early touchdown, the Eagles' offense stalled against a stout Minnesota defense, while the Vikings' offense struggled.
There wasn’t much vengeance to go around for anyone wearing purple.
