Falcons' primetime pulverization of Vikings puts Raheem Morris' vision on full display

It's incredibly rare to see a team win in such convincing fashion despite failing to score a touchdown the fourth quarter, but that's exactly what the Atlanta Falcons accomplished on Sunday Night. The Dirty Birds traveled to Minneapolis for Michael Penix Jr's revenge game against J.J. McCarthy, and he got plenty of revenge in the 22-6 victory.

Under new defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, Raheem Morris and the Falcons transitioned to a scheme predicated on the utilization of youth and versatility. After holding Baker Mayfield to just 167 passing yards in Week 1, the encore against McCarthy was even more impressive.
