The Eagles can be assured of one warming thought as they head to Minneapolis this weekend: There won’t be 6 inches of snow on the field.

Nope, the game will be indoors.

Not that Philadelphia would mind playing in inclement weather after its 34-20 victory over Detroit in blizzard-like conditions last Sunday. Seems odd, doesn’t it, that the team at a disadvantage in wintry weather in this matchup hails from Minnesota.

“I don’t think we need to take our rain gear,” offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur said.

No, as long as the Eagles bring LeSean McCoy, DeSean Jackson and Nick Foles on offense, operating behind that suddenly powerful line, they should be in good shape — in the Metrodome or on the tundra outside.

“Yeah, I wonder, they’ve put up some numbers on snow,” Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said, noting McCoy’s franchise-record 217 yards rushing against the Lions. “For a back to be able to run like against Detroit, I think they have a pretty good front, it’s pretty impressive. Now you get him on a fast track, you wonder is that a good thing or a bad thing? We’ll have to find a way to slow him down.”

Minnesota’s star running back Adrian Peterson, the 2012 league MVP, has a sprained right foot. The Vikings (3-9-1) have an even bigger challenge if he can’t go against the ever-improving Philly defense.

The Eagles (8-5) have won five of their last six against Minnesota and they are 5-1 on the road this season. They’ve also won their last five outings to move to the top of the NFC East.

Week 15 began with an upset as San Diego handled Denver 27-20.

Philip Rivers threw for two scores to rookie Keenan Allen and kept the Chargers’ offense on the field for nearly 39 minutes.

Stuck on the sideline most of the night, Peyton Manning ended up with 289 yards and only two touchdowns. The Broncos (11-3) fell at home in the regular season for the first time in 14 games.

The Chargers (7-7) snapped Denver’s 10-game AFC West winning streak and stayed in the hunt for a playoff spot.

Some key games to watch for this week:

Green Bay (6-6-1) at Dallas (7-6)

Both teams are in their division races, the Packers in the NFC North, the Cowboys in the NFC East, but have only slight shots at a wild card. Green Bay has struggled since quarterback Aaron Rodgers broke his left collarbone, but is hopeful he can get them to the top when he returns. He is out Sunday.

Green Bay hasn’t beaten Dallas on the road since 1989. The Packers lost the last nine games at Texas Stadium, including seven straight from 1993-96, three in playoff games.

Baltimore (7-6) at Detroit (7-6), Monday night

Huge game on both sides.

Baltimore controls the AFC’s second wild card right now and has won a season-high three straight, all at home. But the Ravens have lost three straight on the road and five of six this season.

The Lions have lost three of four, blowing fourth-quarter leads in each game. The offense has not scored in the fourth quarter of Detroit’s last three defeats.

New England (10-3) at Miami (7-6)

New England never seems to run out of miracles, and with a win will have the top seed in the AFC while clinching the East for fifth successive season. The Patriots have beaten the Dolphins seven consecutive times, including three wins in Miami. Only eight current Miami players have beaten New England while wearing a Dolphins uniform.

Ryan Tannehill has been sacked 47 times, and NFL high and a Dolphins record. But they have won three of their last four.

New York Jets (6-7) at Carolina (9-4)

After being routed by New Orleans to stop their eight-game winning streak, the Panthers look to re-establish their playoff credentials in what could be a strong defensive match. Carolina has the league’s best rushing defense, with the Jets just behind.
