EAGAN, Minn. — For the second consecutive week, the Vikings (1-2-1) will travel to face a defending division champ.

Minnesota will visit Philadelphia to face the Eagles (2-2) in a rematch of the NFC Championship Game that will be broadcast nationally by FOX.

Kickoff is scheduled for 3:25 p.m. (CT).

The Eagles are coming off a 26-23 road OT loss against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The Vikings lost to the Rams 38-31 in Los Angeles on Thursday night.

Minnesota enters Week 5 ranking fifth in the NFL in passing yards per game (327.3) through four games. Vikings QB Kirk Cousins has thrown for 1,387 yards, the third-highest total in the NFL.

WR Adam Thielen is off to a record-breaking start, recording 40 receptions (second in the NFL) for 473 yards (second in the NFL), setting new franchise marks for the most through the first four weeks of a season in both categories.
