Vikings hang on to defeat Eagles 23-21 in Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA – The Vikings’ position in the offseason, unique as it was, forced them to hire a new offensive coordinator and make a decision on their starting quarterback after a 13-3 season.

They’d played well enough to reach the NFC Championship Game — and help offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur get the Giants’ head coaching job in the process — but weren’t confident enough in Case Keenum’s long-term reliability to make him their long-term QB after he’d taken them to the brink of the Super Bowl.
