Overall Grade at The Eagles – Grade: D+
Who would have thought the only division in the NFL with all teams sitting above .500, would be the NFC East? NOBODY. If it makes the Vikings feel any better the Gophers were made to look like total morons, how did Minnesota boy Carson Wentz slip out of Minnesota to North Dakota? The ball was dropped by the scouts who missed him! Maybe this matchup is one that will be replayed in the playoffs. The Minnesota Vikings, Seattle Seahawks, and Arizona Cardinals share the Wall of Shame for this week. Seattle and Arizona combined for 4 field goals and a tie in a primetime matchup. Not a great NFL week…
Up Next: Da Bears
The Vikings have had their struggles at Soldier Field in recent seasons, after this last week, I do not foresee the struggles continuing. I see Mike Zimmer pulling out all the stops this week. Perhaps some wrinkles that haven’t been seen as of yet, may have to be unveiled. A second consecutive loss may give credibility to the naysayers.

Not much credibility but enough to make it hard to be a Vikings fan for another week. A win though, still will not silence the critics, considering the Bears enter the game with a 1-6 record. The Vikings for all intents and purposes actually need this win though to set the ship sailing the right direction again.
