Hunter gets to Foles

After the opening score by Minnesota, things sort of fell apart. The Vikings struggled offensively, gave up a pick 6, and allowed a rushing touchdown by Philly. But the defense never gave up hope early on.

Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter is a monster with a non-stop motor. His size and athleticism are freakish, but he was also up against a monster of a man in Philadelphia’s offensive tackle Lane Johnson.

In the second quarter, the Eagles were on offense and Nick Foles was getting pressured in the pocket. Hunter’s motor and physical ability kept him in the play, putting him the position to sack Foles on 3rd down and force a Philadelphia punt.
