Philadelphia Eagles fall short of predictions, succumb to Minnesota Vikings, 221.56-179.74

There's no way around it, Philadelphia Eagles underperformed, at least compared to projections, as Minnesota Vikings earned a 221.56-179.74 victory. Philadelphia Eagles grabbed a 2.50-point lead on Thursday, but Minnesota Vikings held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Todd Gurley II (132 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 33 Rec Yds) and Deshaun Watson (224 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 30 Rush Yds). Xavien Howard (17.5 points) and Zach Ertz (17.3) led the charge for Philadelphia Eagles in the loss.
