Rasul Douglas settled in near the sideline after his initial backpedal Pat Elflein Jersey , playing zone coverage while Minnesota’s Stefon Diggs kept on speeding down the field midway through the second quarter.That safety help over the top never came.Diggs hauled in the 51-yard completion from Kirk Cousins for his second too-easy score in a span of less than three minutes, giving the Vikings a three-touchdown lead on their way to a 38-20 victory over the Eagles on Sunday.Pass defense has definitely not been Philly’s thing so far this year. The Eagles gave up 300-plus yards passing for the fourth time in six games, as Diggs racked up a career-best three scores with 167 yards and Cousins found the end zone four times. Cousins went 22 for 29 and topped the 300-yard mark against the Eagles for the second game in as many years. For the fifth time in six games, the Eagles were scored on during the first drive against them, with four touchdowns and one field goal allowed.“We’re a confident group,” said Douglas, who had penalties for holding and pass interference. “We know what we can do. You’re not about to play in the league and not have a bad game. Everybody has bad games.”With starters Ronald Darby (hamstring) and Avonte Maddox (neck/concussion) out again with injuries, Douglas and Sidney Jones were in the lineup. Jones was beaten by Adam Thielen with a slick double move for Minnesota’s first touchdown and also had penalties for holding and pass interference.Douglas and Jones were just the most noticeable culprits Dalvin Cook Jersey , though. Veteran safety Malcolm Jenkins took the blame for leaving Douglas out to dry on the second touchdown by Diggs. After their 10-sack game against the New York Jets last week, the Eagles took Cousins down behind the line of scrimmage just once. Middle linebacker Nigel Bradham hurt his ankle and sat out the second half, and the Eagles were biting hard on the run fakes by Cousins.“They do a good job of balancing run and play action,” Jenkins said. “We knew that coming in.”Outside linebacker Zach Brown, who played with Cousins in Washington, had the zinger of the week when he told reporters in Philadelphia that Cousins was “the weakest part” of the offense and welcomed him to throw the ball. Brown refused to answer questions after the game about his trash talk gone wrong.“He did a great job,” Brown said.Cousins has responded to one of the roughest games of his career, two weeks ago in defeat at Chicago Jalyn Holmes Jersey , with a pair of demonstrative performances.“Maybe that linebacker who popped off ticked him off,” Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said.Now the Eagles (3-3) are one defeat down in a make-or-break six-game stretch of their schedule, with trips to Dallas and Buffalo on deck. Then they return home to play Chicago, take their week off, and come out of the bye with consecutive home games against New England and Seattle. The combined record of those six opponents entering the week was 22-8.“We’re all in this together,” coach Doug Pederson said. “It’s an ownership, and it starts with me.” We’ve reached halftime at U.S. Bank Stadium, and though it’s been a bit on the ugly side Brian O’Neill Jersey , the Minnesota Vikings lead the Washington Redskins by a score of 13-6.Minnesota had a 3-0 lead going into the second quarter, but Washington started with the ball deep in Minnesota territory at the 21-yard line. The Redskins then got a pass interference call against Xavier Rhodes to move the ball down to the 2-yard line for a first-and-goal. The Vikings’ defense held, though, and Washington settled for a 21-yard field goal from Dustin Hopkins to even the score at 3-3.The Vikings put together a nice drive on their next possession, and they got themselves to a first-and-goal from the Washington 10. After that, Kirk Cousins was sacked twice in three plays, and the Vikings had to settle for a second Dan Bailey field goal attempt. He was good from 29 yards out, and Minnesota took the lead back at 6-3.Minnesota finally put the ball into the end zone at the end of the half. They marched 75 yards in seven plays Kyle Rudolph Jersey , capping things off with a 4-yard run from Dalvin Cook to make it 13-6 going into the locker room.It’s been a very fast half of football. Neither team punted, each team has one turnover, and we’re through the first half in about an hour and fifteen minutes.Statistically, Kirk Cousins is having a heck of a night for the Vikings so far. He’s completed 12-of-13 passes for 173 yards, and he’s led three scoring drives thus far. The big weapon, as you’d expect, has been Dalvin Cook, who has caught five of those passes for 73 yards. Stefon Diggs has three catches for 70 yards Irv Smith Minnesota Vikings Jerseys , but had a fumble on the Vikings’ first possession to end a potential scoring drive. Olabisi Johnson has a 16-yard catch, Kyle Rudolph has a pair of grabs for 13 yards, and Laquon Treadwell has one catch for one yard.Cook has done alright on the ground as well, picking up 35 yards and a touchdown on eight carries. Alexander Mattison has 15 yards on four carries, and Cousins has a two-yard scramble.We’re at halftime, and though it hasn’t gone quite the way many of us had expected, the Vikings still lead the Redskins by a score of 13-6. Come on in and join us for the second half of play!Tweets by DailyNorseman
