Philadelphia Eagles Passing Performance

Player	C/ATT	YDS	TD	INT	QBR	RTG	SACKS
Jalen Hurts	19/23	326	3	0	96.2	158.3	3-10

Jalen Hurts put together one of the finest performances of his career in this bounce-back game. His 82.6 completion percentage reflected surgical precision, while his three touchdown passes went for 37, 79, and 26 yards respectively. The perfect passer rating marked a historic achievement for the reigning Super Bowl MVP.

“It’s not a time to wish or hope for something to happen,” Hurts said postgame. “It’s a time to make it happen.”

His ability to extend plays and deliver accurate deep balls proved devastating. Hurts completed all five of his deep passes over 20+ air yards, according to NextGen Stats, showcasing the vertical dimension that had been lacking in previous weeks.

Minnesota Vikings Passing Struggle

Player	C/ATT	YDS	TD	INT	QBR	RTG	SACKS
Carson Wentz	26/42	313	0	2	51.0	64.9	2-15

Carson Wentz faced his original team for the first time in years and delivered an uneven performance. While accumulating 313 passing yards, he failed to find the end zone through the air and threw two critical interceptions deep in Vikings territory. His 64.9 passer rating reflected the costly turnovers that derailed Minnesota’s scoring opportunities.

“Don’t throw it right to his chest. That would be great,” Wentz admitted about the pick-six to Jalyx Hunt. “But I think they had a good call. I’ve got to be better and just progress or quite frankly take the sack there.”

The struggles intensified in the red zone, where backup center Blake Brandel’s errant snaps and penalties disrupted Minnesota’s rhythm at critical moments.

Rushing Attack Comparison

Eagles Ground Game

Player	CAR	YDS	AVG	TD	LONG
Saquon Barkley	18	44	2.4	0	9
Tank Bigsby	1	11	11.0	0	11
Jalen Hurts	4	-10	-2.5	0	1
Team Total	23	45	2.0	0	11

The Eagles rushing attack struggled to find traction against Minnesota’s front seven. Saquon Barkley, despite 18 carries, managed just 44 yards as the Vikings bottled up Philadelphia’s ground game. This forced the Eagles to rely heavily on their passing attack, which ultimately proved more effective.

Vikings Running Backs

Player	CAR	YDS	AVG	TD	LONG
Jordan Mason	15	57	3.8	1	12
Carson Wentz	4	28	7.0	0	16
Zavier Scott	4	4	1.0	0	5
Team Total	23	89	3.9	1	16

Jordan Mason provided the Vikings with their lone rushing touchdown on a direct snap in the third quarter. His 57 yards on 15 carries gave Minnesota some balance, while Wentz added 28 yards on scrambles. However, the running game couldn’t compensate for the passing game’s struggles in scoring territory.

Wide Receiver Dominance

Player	TAR	REC	YDS	AVG	TD	LONG
DeVonta Smith	11	9	183	20.3	1	79
A.J. Brown	6	4	121	30.3	2	45

Saquon Barkley	1	1	-2	-2.0	0	-2
Team Total	23	19	326	17.2	3	79

DeVonta Smith’s breakout performance marked the most receiving yards by any NFL player in a single game during the 2025 season. His 183-yard explosion included the game-changing 79-yard touchdown where he beat former teammate Isaiah Rodgers on a perfectly executed double move.

“It’s fun, man,” Smith said about watching Hurts get in rhythm. “You can tell when he really sees it. He gets this look. He sees it and he’s like, ‘Oh yeah. This the one right here.’ It’s fun, man. When we’re all on the same page, the sky’s the limit.”

The touchdown came early in the third quarter after Smith had been advocating for the play call at halftime. Hurts explained, “He had a lot of confidence in that look, had a lot of confidence in that. He was chirping about it and it ended up getting called. I’d say great feel by him. Great execution from the guys up front and then great, great call by KP (Offensive Coordinator Kevin Patullo) to get to it.”

A.J. Brown’s two touchdown catches were equally impressive. His first came on fourth-and-4 from the Eagles’ own 44 on the opening drive when Hurts improvised and motioned for Brown to go deep. The veteran receiver burned Rodgers for a 37-yard score. His second touchdown, a 26-yard strike in the fourth quarter, effectively sealed the victory.

Tackle Jordan Mailata described Hurts’ command: “He’s got so much swag, a swagginess to him. When he’s in control, you can see the look in his eye… that sharpness to his eye.”

Jordan Addison led the Vikings receivers with nine catches for 128 yards, providing consistent production throughout the game. Justin Jefferson, despite drawing heavy coverage, managed five receptions for 79 yards but couldn’t break through for a touchdown. The absence of receiving touchdowns highlighted Minnesota’s red zone struggles, where they settled for field goals on five of six trips inside the 20-yard line.

Injury Report

The Eagles dealt with significant injury adversity throughout the game. Starting center Cam Jurgens exited in the first quarter with a knee injury, while defensive backups Azeez Ojulari (hamstring) and Jeremiah Trotter (ankle) also left the game. Cornerback Adoree’ Jackson was sidelined in the third quarter with a concussion.

The Vikings played without starting outside linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel (neck) for the third consecutive game, impacting their pass rush rotation.

Analysis: Offensive Philosophy Shift Pays Off

Offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo made strategic adjustments coming off the mini-bye week following a Thursday night loss to the Giants. The Eagles operated under center more frequently, creating better play-action opportunities and allowing Hurts to unleash the deep passing game.

The offensive line, despite losing Jurgens, provided Hurts with time to survey downfield options. Fred Johnson checked in as a sixth offensive lineman on Smith’s 79-yard touchdown, selling the run fake that froze Minnesota’s defense.

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni praised his quarterback’s aggressive mindset: “Every time we get a fourth down conversion, I look at him and I say, ‘Hey, I trust you in these scenarios. Thanks for making me right.'”

The willingness to attack on fourth down, including the opening drive’s tush push conversion and the deep ball to Brown, signaled a more aggressive offensive approach that paid immediate dividends.

Context and Implications

This victory snapped Philadelphia’s two-game losing streak and improved their record to 5-2, keeping them in control of the NFC East race. The offensive explosion addressed concerns about the passing game’s efficiency and Hurts’ ability to elevate his star receivers.

For Minnesota, dropping to 3-3 raised questions about their red zone execution and Wentz’s performance in high-leverage situations. The inability to capitalize on possession advantages and the two turnovers in Eagles territory proved costly.

The philadelphia eagles vs minnesota vikings match player stats demonstrated that when Hurts finds his rhythm and receives adequate protection, Philadelphia’s offense remains among the NFL’s most dangerous. The receiving duo of Smith and Brown combined for 304 yards and three touchdowns, showcasing the vertical dimension that makes this offense so difficult to defend.

Looking ahead, Philadelphia hosted the New York Giants the following Sunday, seeking revenge for their earlier loss, while Minnesota faced a quick turnaround with a Thursday night game at the Los Angeles Chargers.

Key Takeaways

For the Eagles:

• Jalen Hurts’ perfect passer rating marked a historic performance and quieted critics after back-to-back losses

• Red zone execution remains a critical weakness with just one touchdown on six trips
• Will Reichard’s consistency as a kicker kept Minnesota competitive despite offensive struggles
• Blake Brandel’s struggles at backup center disrupted rhythm on crucial drives

The philadelphia eagles vs minnesota vikings match player stats reveal a game decided by explosive plays, turnover margin, and red zone efficiency. Philadelphia’s ability to convert deep shots while preventing Minnesota from doing the same proved to be the difference in a game where both quarterbacks threw for over 300 yards.
