Vikings to face Eagles in Week 2 Monday Night Football doubleheader
The Minnesota Vikings will visit the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2 of the 2022 NFL season, the NFL announced Monday.
The Sept. 19 game with a 7:30 p.m. kickoff will be broadcast on ABC, forming part of an ABC/ESPN Monday Night Football doubleheader that will see the Tennessee Titans at the Buffalo Bills starting at 6:15 p.m.
It's the second Vikings game announced for the 2022 season ahead of Thursday's release of the full schedule, the other being a road game in London against the New Orleans in Week 4.
That combined with the Week 2 announcements means the Vikings are likely looking at home games in Weeks 1 and 3.
The last time they visited Philadelphia, Kirk Cousins led them to a 23-21 win on Oct. 7, 2018, which featured a fumble return touchdown by Linval Joseph.
This time Cousins will be up against Jalen Hurts and his receiving corps that now includes AJ Brown alongside 2021 1st Round pick Devonta Smith.
