The Atlanta Falcons and the Minnesota Vikings will clash from Minnesota on Sunday afternoon.
Atlanta comes into the contest with a record of 6-6. The season has been up and down for the Falcons thus far. After a strong start to the season, the Falcons have struggled lately. The Falcons have lost three consecutive games, including a multi-interception disaster against the Chargers last week.
However, the cold stretch has not killed their season. Atlanta begins the game tied for first place in the NFC South with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The South has been so bad this season that a .500 record may win the division. The Falcons are coming off a 17-13 home loss last weekend that they will look to bounce back from on the road today.
