The Minnesota Vikings gave the Atlanta Falcons their first win of the season on Sunday.

From the very first play that the Minnesota Vikings ran on Sunday, their afternoon went just about as poorly as it possibly could.

Against a winless Atlanta Falcons team, the Vikings delivered a terrible performance and it resulted in a 40-23 loss. Minnesota is now 1-5 for the first time since 2013 when they finished with a 5-10-1 record.

The Vikings have had a few bad performances this year, but what they put out on the field against the Falcons on Sunday was just flat-out embarrassing.
