and Hey everybody welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew

Collar here from inside my Philadelphia hotel.

How's everybody doing this evening?

I have just returned from the hotel restaurant

where I did not have a Philly cheese steak.

In fact, I've never had a Philly cheese steak in all of the times that I have been to Philadelphia

but I have seen a myriad of different types of football

since I've been here so I'm glad for everybody to join here on the night before a game

Thursday night football Vikings and Eagles. We've got some interesting injury stuff to talk about.

I also got a bunch of emails that I want to make sure that I answer.

And anybody else who has questions about this game,

we'll talk about kind of every part of it.

Normally, we have the the

Raggots roundtable leading up to games where we do hardcore X's and O's with

Bill Raggots and Andrew Kramer, but for today you know since both those guys are traveling and everything, it's just me.

So I'll need everybody's help to get involved and talk about every part of this game before we jump in about, I't know like 24 hours or less from now I'm really

excited about this one I have to say that you know I know that Vikings fans don't enjoy the atmosphere in Philadelphia

because it's very unfriendly to them but I do as a reporter coming here it's one of

my favorite places to show up here in Philadelphia.

I think it's one of the coolest stadiums to go to the crowd atmosphere is incredible

and it was interesting to hear Vikings players talk about the atmosphere as well and how they're kind of trying to use it as a let's embrace it bond together around it and that kind of thing. So how they react to that will be I think a factor in this game and

also the desperation of this game for the Vikings if you want to have a season well then you know it's you're going to have to win a game that you shouldn't at some point and there's no better time to start than the present.
