Offensive MVP – Stefon Diggs, wide receiver

The Eagles couldn’t cover Stefon Diggs all day. His excellent route running was on display all day, as he used his speed to burn the Philadelphia defense and make a couple of deep plays to put points on the board.

Cousins and Diggs absolutely victimized the Eagles defense, as Diggs caught seven passes on the day for 167 yards and three touchdowns. His receptions went for 23.9 yards per catch, which is a crazy number to think about.

Hopefully, this will help to squash any conversations about Diggs not being happy in Minnesota. He looked like he was having a blast with Cousins and Thielen on the sidelines and the field on Sunday, which is reassuring to see.

Diggs didn’t have a perfect game. He had two big drops that could have made the final score of this game even more lopsided and one of those resulted in an interception. However, all that is forgiven when he can put together an awesome stat line as he did.
