After an emotional Week 6 that saw the Falcons move on from longtime head coach Dan Quinn and general manager Thomas Dimitroff, the team found a way to finally get in the win column with a dominant victory over the Vikings. Atlanta looked reinvigorated on offense and made enough plays on defense to put Minnesota away early in the game, and for once the team didn’t let their opponent mount a comeback.
This week, the Falcons face a more difficult test in the Lions (2-4). Detroit has had a disappointing start to the season, but they are also coming off a strong victory against an overmatched opponent.
