Falcons free safety Ricardo Allen believes that Minnesota’s passing attack, which ranks 12th in the league, is potent as he prepares for Sunday’s matchup.
“The do a really good job of spreading the ball out to everybody,” Allen said. “It’s not just like a set person that they want to get the ball to. (Adam) Thielen is killing. The tight end (Kyle Rudolph) is killing, too. But (Stefon) Diggs is a special player, too.”
Backup quarterback Case Keenum took over after Sam Bradford suffered a knee injury in Week 2. He has been sacked just seven times over 9-1/2 games. Keenum has completed 66.1 percent of his passes for 2,476 yards and thrown 14 touchdowns with just five interceptions.
The Vikings average 251.3 yards passing per game.
