Coach Talk

Philadelphia Eagles
Wow, the Vikings defense didn't stand a chance! 26 completions on 31 attempts: good enough for an 84% completion percentage for Jalen Hurts. We know the GM of Philadelphia Eagles has gotta be appreciative of this type of attention to detail.
Minnesota Vikings
Your quarterback threw three interceptions and just a single touchdown? I guess we're presented with a couple of options here. Were the Eagles really that great against the pass, or was Kirk Cousins just that out-of-tune with the receiving crew? What do you think, Minnesota Vikings, do we continue to start him with confidence?
