After losing the home opener last week, the Falcons (0-1) hit the road to take on the Minnesota Vikings (1-0), who tamed the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football.
Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarty had a busy week, following the birth of his first child with his fiancee. He was one of the heroes in Minnesota’s win, bouncing back from a shaky first half to lead the offense.
The Falcons’ defense will have a challenge, with All-Pro receiver Justin Jefferson leading the charge.
