Minnesota Vikings Week 2 Superlatives

After a terrific Week 1, the Minnesota Vikings responded with a horrible Week 2. There wasn’t a lot of good in Monday’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Here’s an effort to pry three superlatives from the mess. 

Offensive Player of the Game

Ryan Wright, P 

Ryan Wright was the only player on the team that advanced the ball with any consistency against the Eagles. It was that sort of game. 

Defensive Player of the Game

Jordan Hicks, LB

His fourth quarter interception and return felt like a last-gasp turning point. The offense put an end to that last gasp with a red-zone interception. 

Special Teams Player of the Game

Patrick Peterson

His third-quarter field goal block felt like a huge turning point. The offense put an end to that opportunity with a red zone interception.

Honorable Mention: Ryan Wright
