The Atlanta Falcons took on the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, and it was a battle of two injury-marred teams that was as low-scoring as it was frustrating. Unfortunately for the Falcons, they came out on the wrong side of it.
The defense had some major, frustrating lapses, but they also forced two turnovers and got a safety on Josh Dobbs to give this Falcons team a fighting chance. Special teams contributed, too, with good work by Younghoe Koo to cash in four field goals to go along with the safety. In the first half, however, the offense was an absolute liability, managing to set up a couple of field goals but also squandering red zone chances and stalling out in a fashion that made us think this one would be another close, annoying game.
