TURNOVER DIFFERENTIAL: Vikings minus-3; Eagles plus-1.

EAGLES PLAYER TO WATCH: QB Jalen Hurts passed for 170 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 37yards with a fumble in Sunday’s win over the Patriots. It was his first game since signing a big-money deal in the offseason that guarantees him $179.3 million. Hurts and the offense, in general, were less dynamic in the opener than a season ago when he combined for 35touchdowns in the air and on the ground while leading the Eagles to the Super Bowl. The third-year starter repeatedly has stated how he holds himself and the team to a high standard of excellence, something the Eagles likely will need to pull out a victory in their home opener Thursday.

VIKINGS PLAYER TO WATCH: Vikings WR Justin Jefferson pushed aside stalled contract negotiations with the club with a typical performance in Sunday’s loss to Tampa Bay, catching nine passes for 150 yards. Jefferson, who racked up 4,825yards in his first three seasons while being selected to the Pro Bowl each year, had just two catches for 12yards after halftime against the Buccaneers, though. He surely will be looking to find the end zone in Week 2.

KEY MATCHUP: Eagles CB Darius Slay vs. Jefferson. The veteran Slay, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, likely will be asked to blanket Jefferson, especially with the expected absence of CB James Bradberry (concussion protocol) against the Vikings.
