Not many people saw this one coming. The Minnesota Vikings took down the NFC East Champions Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on Tuesday night. Rookie quarterback Joe Webb looked poised and impressive in his first career start. The defense blitzed early and often and put pressure on Michael Vick all night.The Philadelphia Eagles got on the board first with a 3-yard Clay Harbor touchdown in the 1st quarter. After several dropped interceptions by the Minnesota Vikings, Antoine Winfield forced a fumble from Vick and took it 45 yards to pay dirt to tie the score. After a Ryan Longwell field goal in the 3rd, Joe Webb had a nifty 9 yard touchdown run that displayed his athleticism. He juked 3 Eagles players on his way to the endzone. Michael Vick would score on a 10 yard run in the 4th quarter but Adrian Peterson would respond with a 1 yard score to push it to 24-14.
The Minnesota Vikings moved to 6-9 and clinched a bye for the Chicago Bears. Leslie Frazier pushed his possibility of landing the head coaching job to highly likely after this victory. Joe Webb has now forced the Vikings to decide on whether he may be the future quarterback.
