The highlights for the Minnesota Vikings against the Philadelphia Eagles were few and far between.
The days after was mostly spent being critical of the mistakes that the Vikings made against a really good Eagles team that beat their week three opponent the Detroit Lions in week 1.
Thankfully, there were still positives to come out of Monday night’s game. It wasn’t blatantly obvious until you turned on the all-22 but there were a lot of highlights especially in the trenches.
Rookie second-round pick Ed Ingram has had an interesting start. He has been really good in blocking running plays but struggled in pass blocking. He had an improved and more balanced game against the Eagles on Monday night and had some blocks like this beauty.

It’s not a secret that Ingram is a good run blocker but the ability to move a 6’6″ 341 lb defensive tackle over two gaps it’s beyond impressive.
The Vikings can take advantage of this moving forward in trying to spring Dalvin Cook on long runs.
