Big Dill Sports checking in from the SKOL dome, and Philly brought the air show. The Eagles rolled into Minneapolis as slight road favorites with the total sitting in the low 40s — and then played like it. (espn.com) After a couple body blows on the ground, Jalen Hurts uncorked a 4th-and-4 laser to A.J. Brown for a 37-yard strike, and the “here we go” siren officially sounded. Minnesota stuck with Carson Wentz under center after a week of QB chatter, but the first-half story belonged to Philly’s pass game and opportunistic D. (sbnation.com)

Second quarter, cue the avalanche. Rookie heater Jalyx Hunt jumped a route and housed a 42-yard pick-six, and shortly after Andrew Mukuba swiped another to keep the Vikings kicking instead of celebrating. A red-zone holding call turned a 4th-and-1 at the six into a Will Reichard chip shot, and Philly jogged to the locker room up 14–6 with momentum stuffed in their carry-on.

Then the lid blew off. DeVonta Smith hit the turbo for a 79-yard catch-and-run to make it 21–9, a pure track-meet moment in a dome built for noise. Credit the Vikes for counterpunching — Jordan Mason finally pushed one across and Reichard kept them in range with field goals — while Jordan Addison kept cooking on the perimeter with a silky 9 for 128 day. But after a Jake Elliott miss opened the door, Hurts slammed it shut late with one more dime.

Clutch time belonged to No. 1. Hurts dropped a rainbow to A.J. Brown for a 26-yard touchdown with 6:40 left, then iced it with a 45-yard dagger down the left sideline to set up victory formation as Philly polished off a 28–22 win. The stat line pops: Hurts: 19/23, 326 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT; Smith: 9/183/1 with the 79-yard haymaker; Brown: 4/121/2; and for Minnesota, Wentz: 313 yards with Addison’s 9/128 keeping the chains moving. And yes, the birds covered just like the books hinted. (espn.com)

Big Dill of the Game: DeVonta Smith (9 catches, 183 yards, 1 TD) — the 79-yard lightning bolt flipped the script and his chain-moving clinic kept the offense humming while the run game sputtered. That’s a wrap from Big Dill Sports — where ballin’ is a big dill. Catch you next time!
