The trenches are often overlooked. Except in Philadelphia, where they are endlessly revered.
Philadelphia’s dominance along the lines was on full display Thursday night in its 34–28 win over the Vikings.
Minnesota, which has struggled to develop its offensive interior, was limited to a grotesque 28 yards rushing on nine carries. Quarterback Kirk Cousins was also under siege throughout, being sacked twice while the Eagles registered 10 quarterback hits.
