Vikings, Eagles wait around to play postponed game

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- While the Minnesota Vikings ate cheesesteaks and acted like tourists, the Philadelphia Eagles savored a division title they clinched from their couches.

Both teams had to wait another day to play the first NFL game on a Tuesday in 64 years.

A winter storm postponed the Vikings-Eagles game from Sunday night to Tuesday night before any snow had even accumulated. About a foot of snow fell on Philadelphia, though less than five inches was on the ground before the scheduled kickoff at 8:20 p.m. EST. By Monday morning, it was bright and sunny at Lincoln Financial Field. But the league had already postponed the game because of the uncertainty of the forecast.
