EAGAN, Minn. — The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to terms on a two-year contract extension with defensive tackle Harrison Phillips. He's a vital run-stopper who's one of their most consistent players. The 28-year-old Phillips is in his third season with Minnesota. He had five tackles, one sack, one quarterback hurry and a pass defensed in the season-opening win over the New York Giants. The Vikings allowed only 240 yards and six points. Phillips started all 17 games in his first two years with the Vikings. He had a career-high 92 tackles last season for the second most in the NFL among defensive linemen.
