There are numerous games this week feating teams with winning records, including the Rams t Jaguars, Colts at Chargers Falcons at 49ers, and the Buccaneers at Lions, which feels like it could be a potential NFC playoffs matchup preview. for our purposes, though, we’re going with the Eagles at Vikings. Minnesota us coming off its two-game stint in Europe, while Philadelphia seems to be sort of looking for its offensive identity. It feels like a game the Eagles need to win. Former Crimson Tide players in this one:
Eagles: Jihaad Campbell, LB; Landon Dickerson; Jalen Hurts, QB; Cameron Latu, TE; John Metchie III, WR; DeVonta Smith, WR; Tyler Steen, OG; Byron Young, DT
Vikings: Jonathan Allen, DT; Ryan Kelly, C (Injured Reserve); Will Reichard, K; Dallas Turner LB
• Green Bay running back Josh Jacobs totaled 157 scrimmage yards and two rushing touchdowns in Week 4 and 150 scrimmage yards and two rushing touchdowns in Week 6. If he can do it again Sunday at Arizona, he’ll become just the fourth player in history to have at least 150 scrimmage yards and two rushing touchdowns in three consecutive weeks duing a single season. The other three are LaDainian Tomlinson (four consecutive games in 2006 with the San Diego Chargers), Chris Johnson (three in 2009 with Tennessee) and Ricky Williams (three in 2002 with Miami).
