After last week’s emotional win, the Minnesota Vikings had no answers for the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Nick Foles threw for three touchdowns and 352 yards in a 38-7 win, sending the Eagles to the Super Bowl for the first time since the 2004 season. They’re now set for a Super Bowl 39 rematch with the New England Patriots.
The Vikings scored on their opening drive, but it was all downhill from there as the Eagles scored 38 unanswered points. Case Keenum threw two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. He also lost a fumble that set up an Eagles scoring drive, essentially driving in the dagger late in the second quarter.
Keenum finished with just one touchdown, two picks, and 271 yards on 28-of-48 passing. The Vikings’ defense, so dominant all season, was completely annihilated by Foles and Co. Things were set up for a potential dream season with Minnesota hosting the Super Bowl, but the Vikings are instead going home after the humbling loss.
