The Falcons’ secondary was dismantled by rookie quarterback Will Levis in his first start, surrendering 238 yards and four touchdowns in his first NFL start. Despite that, Atlanta enter Sunday’s game against the Vikings as slight 3.5-point favorites, per DraftKings Sportsbook. They currently sit at -180 in the moneyline.
The Vikings, of course, will be without starting quarterback Kirk Cousins who suffered an Achilles injury against the Packers. His replacement? Another rookie quarterback in Jaren Hall, who will also be making his first NFL start.
Are the Falcons about to make another rookie look like Dan Marino?
