The Philadelphia Eagles had no trouble beating the Minnesota Vikings 24-7 on Monday night.
With the win, Philly improved to 2-0 on the year while Minnesota fell to 1-1.
Because of how largely non-competitive the performance was, part way through fans began looking for something to watch other than the product on the field.
This led to one particularly hilarious sequence that went viral:

In the week that Erin Andrews’ outfit choice made headlines, the Miami Dolphins cheerleader blew up the web for her provocative photos, and Ja’Marr Chase’s new girlfriend came out of the woodwork amid his baby-mommy drama — this latest incident is entirely fitting.
Big picture, this week’s showdown provided a fascinating snapshot of where the Eagles and Vikings are right now.
Philly appears to be in a good position to win the NFC East this year. Yes, the New York Giants are 2-0, too – but they seem to be overdoing it right now. Meanwhile, the Eagles appear to be the most complete team in the division right now.
Best of all, they have a relatively easy schedule. It really wouldn’t be that shocking if the Eagles finished the 2022-23 season with 12+ wins.

Meanwhile, Minnesota is harder to read. In terms of talent, the Vikings theoretically have enough to compete, but they often struggle to put it all together. And with matchups against the New Orleans Saints, Arizona Cardinals, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots looming, the road ahead looks awkward.
At the end of the season, it really wouldn’t be that shocking to see the Vikings staring at teams that actually made the playoffs, much like their fan seemed to be staring at an Eagles fan’s ass.
