Cornerback James Bradberry will likely be tasked with helping covering Jefferson. Signed as a free agent in the offseason, Bradberry became the first player to return an interception in his Eagles’ debut since 1940.
Greg Joseph kicked a 56-yard field goal against the Packers to tie the Vikings’ record. He has made eight field goals from 50 or more yards since the start of last season.
Eagles Offense vs Vikings Defense
AJ Brown had a smashing Eagles’ debut in the win over the Lions with 10 catches for 155 yards. Acquired from the Tennessee Titans in a trade during the draft, Brown tied his career high for receiving yards.
Brown has developed a strong relationship with Hurts and was targeted 13 times in Week 1.

Hurts will try to get DeVonta Smith involved in the offseason. Smith was held without a catch on four targets by the Lions after setting a franchise rookie record with 916 receiving yards last season.
The Vikings will need to find a way to slow down Hurts, who had 333 yards of total offense last week with 243 passing and 90 rushing. Minnesota had a strong first performance under new defensive coordinator Ed Donatell with four sacks, an interception and forced fumble against the Packers. At +3750, Danielle Hunter is just outside the top-ten in the NFL Defensive Player of the Year odds.
Hurts has +1400 NFL MVP odds, while the Eagles are a -380 favorite in the NFL playoff odds.

Vikings safety Lewis Cine is expected to make his NFL debut after sitting out last week’s game with a knee contusion. He was the last pick of the first round in this year’s draft.
Vikings vs Eagles Prediction
This is an intriguing matchup between two potentially explosive offenses. Look for the veteran hand of Cousins and the explosiveness of Vikings to propel them to victory.
