It turns into sam bradford interception, first of the season, the pressure got to him. Five for second turnovers in the First Quarter, luckily, job hoff really put the blazing jet pack back on the eagles back. Look at that. After the vikings got a field goal, hoff takes the ensuing kickoff 98 yards, to the house. Than was was the play of the game. Eagles got their groove back.
