11. Thielen finds end zone three times

One game certainly doesn’t fix all of the problems the Minnesota Vikings, but watching Mike Zimmer’s team take down the New York Giants was a solid step in the right direction.

For whatever reason, the Vikings have struggled to be consistent during the 2019 season, and if they happen to miss the playoffs again, one can only imagine what kind of changes will be made.

But since there’s no reason to be thinking with this mindset just yet, the main focus for Minnesota at the moment is the Philadelphia Eagles coming to town.

Vikings fans may not want to be reminded, but the last time the Eagles happened to be in Minnesota was when they won Super Bowl 52.

And since most Vikings fans are still not over the fact that Minnesota missed out on the perfect opportunity to win their first Super Bowl title, it’s safe to say fans will be extra fired up for this one.

Assuming this turns out to be the case, members of the Vikings will be extra fired up as well, including Adam Thielen in the passing game.

After Thielen put together his first multi-touchdown game last weekend in the win over the Giants, the Vikings wideout could find a way to top that performance against an Eagles secondary dealing with all sorts of injuries.
