Vikings vs. Eagles live score, updates, highlights from NFL ‘Monday Night Football’ game

Total times read this article : 8

The second leg of a “Monday Night Football” doubleheader to end Week 2 of the 2022 NFL season showcases two teams hoping to push themselves into the upper echelon of the league.

The Eagles made major upgrades over the offseason, adding A.J. Brown to a wide receiver room that yearned for a real No. 1. If Week 1 was any indication, the addition looks like a sensible one; Brown nabbed 10 passes for 155 yards in Philly’s 38-35 win over Detroit.

The Vikings got impressive production from their own pass-catching dynamo during Week 1. Justin Jefferson’s nine-catch, 184-yard, two-touchdown display against Jaire Alexander and the Packers certainly left an impression. The wiry wideout, who turned 23 over the summer, may be the best receiver in the game.

With Jefferson, Dalvin Cook and others, the Vikings have the talent to compete for the NFC North crown. They proved as much in their wire-to-wire beatdown of Green Bay last week. The only question is: Can they find consistency from game to game? If so, the league might have a problem.

This game promises to deliver much, from huge hits to highlight-reel catches. It’s the perfect way to cap Week 2.

Vikings vs. Eagles live updates, highlights from ‘Monday Night Football’ game

(All times Eastern)

9:19 p.m.: TOUCHDOWN! Cousins hits Irv Smith from two yards out to break the seal on Minnesota’s scoring.

Good stuff from Cousin on that last drive. All passes hit their mark.

Eagles 14, Vikings 7

9:18 p.m.: Johnny Mundt with a sumptuous route as he racks up 17 yards on a catch. Vikings right outside the red zone.

9:17 p.m.: Cousins finds KJ Osborn for the first down. The Vikings are in the red zone for the first time today.

9:16 p.m.: Jettas snags a first down for the Vikings. This is a good drive for Minnesota.

9:13 p.m.: Jalen Reagor fields a toss play to nab the first down. Every single time he touches the ball, he’s being accompanied by a cacophony of boos.

9:10 p.m.: TOUCHDOWN! Hurts airs it out with ease, finding Watkins on the out route. 53 yards to the house. I’m pretty sure Watkins could have moonwalked into the end zone with how much space he found.

Hurts is perfect so far: 10/10 with 154 yards and two touchdowns. That’s what Philly fans will like to see.

Eagles 14, Vikings 0

First quarter

9:07 p.m.: A two-yard Miles Sanders gain near the middle of the field closes the first quarter out. Great showing by Hurts. Also a whole lot of penalties so far. Nonetheless, it’s the Eagles with the early lead.

Eagles 7, Vikings 0

9:04 p.m.: The perfect day continues for Hurts, who is 8/8 after whipping a ball into Smith’s grasp past the marker for first down. Really strong showcase so far by the third-year signal-caller.

8:58 p.m.: That’s a quick three-and-out for the Vikings’ O. Eagles defense stepping it up early.

8:55 p.m.: Hurts goes down! Huge pressure by Minnesota ends in a Danielle Hunter sack. Looks like the Birds are going to have to punt it.

8:53 p.m.: Seemed Philly had the first down after Hurts hit Goedert. However, the refs make a bizarre offensive pass interference call on Smith. Now, it’s third-and-long.

8:51 p.m.: Quez Watkins puts Patrick Peterson on his butt with a mystifying in-and-out move before Hurts finds him with a floated pass. Makes it third and short.

8:50 p.m.: Muffed snap ends up on the ground for the Eagles. However, Sanders reacts quickly, jumping over the ball to prevent the turnover.

8:47 p.m.: The Darius Slay-Justin Jefferson will be one to watch tonight. Slay has already called Jettas one of the league’s best wideouts. However, Slay takes the first battle, knocking the ball away from Jefferson to force Minnesota to punt.

8:46 p.m.: Justin Jefferson makes his first grab of the night. However, the Eagles don’t give him an inch, making it third down.

8:45 p.m.: Vikings take the field. First play is a run through the tackles by Dalvin Cook, who got absolutely stuffed at the line.

8:39 p.m.: TOUCHDOWN! Hurts with some scrambling magic inside the ten-yard line. He keeps the ball on the RPO, planting his foot into the ground before muscling his way into the end zone. 

Wonderful drive by Hurts and the Birds. That will help build some confidence.

Eagles 7, Vikings 0

8:38 p.m.: Hurts is making some lovely throws under pressure. He hit Zach Pascal with a laser beam after taking a hit from Eric Kendricks on third down. Repeated the feat on the very next play, this time finding Goedert.

Hurts is 5/5 so far.

8:36 p.m.: Philly had a decent gain wiped out by a penalty. However, Hurts found AJ Brown with a zipped pass for 19 yards on the very next play. Seems that Minnesota is opting for softer coverage, giving Hurts and his offense the chance to pick them apart through this opening drive.

8:33 p.m.: Decent start to action for Jalen Hurts and the Eagles. Already has gotten the ball to DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert so far. Miles Sanders also nabbed himself a first down on his first carry of the game. Eagles with the ball over the 50.

8:31 p.m.: Greg Joseph boots a short kickoff to the 10-yard line, and the game has started!
