This is more of a housekeeping item than anything else, given that once the Falcons got on a plane to Minnesota you had to figure the game would be happening. With no new additional tests on Sunday, though, it’s officially official.
The 0-5 Falcons will play the 1-4 Vikings in a game that’s likely to be livelier than the records suggest.
This outcome has been in doubt at various points in recent days. Originally, we heard about four positive tests from the team via Adam Schefter, but that report was swiftly walked back by Schefter and the team announced just a single staffer testing positive.
