5 Eagles that are key to a victory against the Vikings

Halapoulivaati Vaitai, LT

Halapoulivaati Vaitai hasn’t heard his name called too much lately, and that is a good thing. Normally, when you talk about an offensive lineman, it is because they are visibly struggling. But the Eagles offensive front has received the most praise last week that they have gotten all season. To put it simply, they dominated in the trenches.

Although Vaitai was not the lineman’s standout star, he still had a solid showing for a guy who has struggled up front from time to time. This week will be Vaitai’s biggest challenge of the season. He will face Minnesota’s, Everson Griffen. And guess what? Griffen is coming for blood. This past week Griffen made it clear that the Vikings defensive line is planning on giving Foles a ton of pressure.

If the Eagles offensive line can look anything close to what they looked like last week, the Eagles could increase their chances of winning by a lot. Vaitai will need to be on his A-Game and more. Minimizing penalties and pressure on the quarterback will be the key to this game. The quick offense should really help Vaitai this week.
