Philadelphia ? 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.

The Vikings-Eagles game was switched from Sunday night to tonight because of a winter storm before any snow had even accumulated. About a foot of snow fell on Philadelphia, though less than 5 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.

On Monday, the Eagles held their typical walkthrough a day before a game, then checked into a team hotel. The Vikings took the field first for a workout at the Eagles’ practice facility and returned to their downtown hotel.

Many players thought the game should have been played Sunday night. So did Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, who said Vince Lombardi would be “mocking us” for the postponement.

“The roads are bad for East Coast standards,” Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe said. “But if this was in the Midwest there would be no way that this would be delayed. No way it would be delayed in the Midwest. No way. … It’s something that baffles me. But I’m not here to make decisions on when games are played.”

The Vikings (5-9) are getting used to this. Their previous two games also were affected by the weather. Their home game against the Giants on Dec. 12 was postponed a day after Minneapolis got 15 inches of snow. It was then moved to Detroit when the Metrodome roof collapsed.

Their game against Chicago last week was played at the University of Minnesota’s outdoor stadium because of the damaged roof.

The extra time off could help some banged-up Vikings players. Brett Favre remains doubtful because of a concussion. Running back Adrian Peterson was listed as questionable because of a right knee injury, but should play.
