Eagles Secure 28-22 Win Over Vikings with Hunt's Game-Changing Pick-6

The Philadelphia Eagles secured a narrow 28-22 victory over the Minnesota Vikings, ending a two-game losing streak and improving their record to 5-2. A pivotal moment came from linebacker Jalyx Hunt, who, after practicing catch drills as part of the team's catch circuit, intercepted a pass from former Eagle Carson Wentz and returned it 42 yards for a touchdown. Hunt, a former safety turned edge rusher, credited his defensive versatility and catching ability for the game-changing play. Quarterback Jalen Hurts delivered one of his best performances with a perfect passer rating, throwing for 326 yards and three touchdowns, while wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith combined for multiple touchdowns and significant yardage. Despite the win, the Eagles showed ongoing challenges with their run game and defensive coverage, particularly against top receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Head coach Nick Sirianni acknowledged these issues but emphasized the importance of the victory and the team's ability to rebound.
