After squeaking past the Patriots in their season opener on Sunday, the defending NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles look to improve to 2-0 against the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night.
Did the time off hurt? If it did Hurts, who combined for 35 passing and rushing touchdowns last season, was loath to admit it.
Last season, also in Week 2 against the Vikings, Hurts had 301 total yards in the first half in the breakout game of his young career and finished with three total touchdowns in a 24-7 win. The early results for Minnesota weren’t terribly promising — the defense allowed a fourth down conversion to extend Tampa Bay’s drive for the tiebreaking field goal and later let the Buccaneers drain the final 3:52 off the clock Sunday with a 15-yard facemask penalty and two third down conversions for a 20-17 victory.
