Photos: Vikings, Eagles game is told in the faces
The story of the Vikings loss — and the Eagles win — can be told just by looking at the faces of those playing and watching the game.
It started well for the hometown team, with Minnesota making it look easy at the outset, driving 75 yards on nine plays, each of which gained yardage. The payoff was a 25-yard throw from Case Keenum to Kyle Rudolph well behind linebacker Najee Goode as Philadelphia's defense looked confused on the play.
The hope faded from then on, and the Vikings lost 7-38 to the Eagles.
