The Minnesota Vikings can make NFL history on Sunday in Philadelphia.
A win over the Eagles and an interception-free afternoon from quarterback Sam Bradford would make the Vikings the first team since at least 1933 to start 6-0 without an interception, according to ESPN Stats and Information.

Minnesota is the NFL’s lone undefeated team, and only the Vikings and New England Patriots have avoided an interception after the first six weeks of the 2016 season.
Avoiding turnovers remains a strong way to win in the NFL.
The Vikings rank first in the league with a plus-11 turnover differential, thanks largely to just one giveaway—which actually came on a fumble from safety Andrew Sendejo after Minnesota recovered a fumble on defense. The offense has yet to turn the ball over, including Bradford.
The former Eagles quarterback has thrown 125 passes without an interception or lost fumble. Traded to Minnesota before the season, Bradford has completed 70.4 percent of his passes, with a passer rating of 109.7, for the NFC North leaders.
Now, Bradford and the Vikings are one win and one turnover-free game away from making NFL history.
