The Minnesota Vikings have climbed all the way back to 4-4 following their 1-4 start to the season.
Of course, they now have to navigate the rest of the season without QB Kirk Cousins, making every game more of a challenge for Kevin O’Connell’s crew. This week is the first test sans-Cousins, and it comes against a fellow 4-4 team: the Atlanta Falcons.
Atlanta is tied for the lead in the NFC South, and like the Vikings, they are trying to jostle for position in the NFC playoff race. Heading into the battle between these two teams, here is everything you need to know about this week’s Vikings game.
