Off the field, Reddick wants to give back and be "a man of the people." He's been able to spend more time with his younger siblings, for whom he wants to be a role model. "We're trying to get the program back on track," Reddick said. And he's going to speak nothing but the truth." A safety and running back at the time, Reddick played just four games in his junior and senior seasons of high school due to a femur fracture. "He loves Temple, and he wants to do whatever he's able to do for Temple," Drayton said. Playing at Lincoln Financial Field, Reddick went from walk-on to team leader at Temple and found his way onto the NFL radar. Reddick's strength and quickness proved to be an asset in getting to the quarterback. So, for her to be able to reap the benefits of the work she put in, it's beautiful." In his Twitter bio, he writes that he's a "Weapon for the Philadelphia Eagles." I'm loving the team and I'm loving the coaching staff," Reddick said. The 27-year-old grew up in Camden and made strides as a walk-on across the river at Temple University.

Glenn Erby and Tyler Forness give their insights into who has the advantage between the Eagles and Vikings for Monday Night Football.

The Vikings match both of those two with two players that are slightly better in Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen. The Eagles have a star in A.J. They also took DeVonta Smith at 10th overall last year and played at a very high level for the Eagles. Darius Slay, James Bradbury and Avonte Maddox at corner with Chauncey Gardner-Johnson on the back end give the Eagles a lot of diverse skill sets which allows them to be multiple on the back end. Eagles Wire: The Eagles have the NFL’s top offensive line and will look to take advantage of apparent mismatches. The Eagles strengthened their group by trading for A.J. Vikings Wire: This one is pretty easy as the Eagles have solid starters across the line. need to take that next step for them to be on the level of the Eagles secondary. The Eagles can play a 3-4 or 4-3 look, while Minnesota plays a conventional 3-4 look, and their interior trio of Jonathan Bullard, Ross Blacklock, Harrison Phillips, and Dalvin Tomlinson simply doesn’t match up. For Philadelphia, Hurts is the ultimate dual-threat, and you can argue that his Eagles have even more offensive weapons. For the Vikings, they still have a big one with Garrett Bradbury making this an easy call. When Kirk Cousins is on, he’ll shred you and has three of the NFL’s top offensive weapons.

Hurts showed off both his accuracy (84%) and his legs (two rushing touchdowns) in a dominating win over the Vikings.

It was a total defensive breakdown, with three defenders gravitating toward tight end [Dallas Goedert](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/3121023/dallas-goedert) while Watkins cruised down the field unmarked. In other words, the interceptions quashed a genuine chance to get back in the game. The result was three interceptions, including a pair by [Darius Slay](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/15863/darius-slay). One was a miscommunication with Jefferson, who appeared to be apologizing to Cousins in the moments afterward. The answer to such questions is usually somewhere in the middle, but it will take some time to dig through the rubble left by Jalen Hurts, who completed 26 of 31 passes for 333 yards while accounting for all three Eagles touchdowns. And so it went Monday night for the Vikings, who were dominated physically and schematically. Given how effective he is as a runner, defenses are going to have a very hard time containing him if he continues to burn it up through the air. Entering the season, the big question was whether Hurts was good enough to take advantage of a loaded roster and turn the Eagles into legit contenders. Hurts has been the team's best player in both games so far, and that's no small thing.

I am one of the best in the world, too. The TD was just the liftoff for the 24-year-old Hurts throwing, running, imposing his will with all his available tools against a Vikings defense that could not solve him in his 21st career start. “This was a really great, well-rounded game for him.” He made a lot of plays,” Eagles center Jason Kelce said. Hurts hit five receivers on 5-for-5 passing — highlighted by a 19-yard strike to A.J. Brown — and finished the drive himself with a three-yard scoring run.

Vikings quarterback [Kirk Cousins](https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/kirk-cousins/7102)‘ primetime woes continued, as he finished with less than 200 passing yards while throwing three interceptions. This was a stark improvement from Edwards' Week 1 performance when he failed to post a 65.0-plus grade in any facet. Offensive spotlight: Hurts lit up the Vikings defense all evening, both on the ground and through the air.

In a demonstrative 24-7 triumph over Minnesota, there was a lot to like from the home opener at Lincoln Financial Field.

He loved the execution of the defense and he loved the mindset. In all, the defense gave up a paltry 264 total net yards and the Vikings converted just 4 of 12 third downs. "A win is great and it feels good, but we know it's a long season and this is just one week. A lot of the beauty of this offensive night on which the Eagles racked up 486 yards was the balance of the offense. Our goal is to be the best as a unit and we knew that to win this game tonight we had to win against a good front. Cox and end Josh Sweat had quarterback sacks and the Eagles controlled the line of scrimmage. The Eagles had those 163 yards on the ground after the Week 1 total of 216 yards and, if you had any doubts, don't. Slay recorded two interceptions – one at the goal line and one in the end zone – and had five passes defensed. "We ran for a first down there just to get some room and then it was on Jalen and he stepped up and delivered," tight end Dallas Goedert said. The list of standouts starts with quarterback Jalen Hurts because he was magnificent in every way from the very start of the game. Instead of killing the clock and preserving a two-touchdown lead, Head Coach Nick Sirianni had Hurts drop back and wing it. In their second game of the year, the Eagles gave them all exactly what they wanted: A wire-to-wire win in a national-spotlight moment, 24-7 over the Vikings that felt every bit as good as the final score.

He became the first player in NFL history to have an 80-plus completion percentage, 300-plus passing yards and two rushing TDs in a single game, per NFL Research. Through two weeks, the 24-year-old answered that with a resounding yes. He is further into his process, and we're talking about getting better every day and he lives that. Why is he going to continue to reach his ceiling? Through two weeks, Hurts has displayed difference-making talent as both a runner and passer.
