Atlanta sets sail into the domain of the Viking for a renewal of a matchup against yet another NFC team that has owned the all time series history against them. The Falcons and Vikings have met a total of 33 times in their respective histories, with Minnesota triumphing 21 of those times.
The Falcons actually got off to a great start, winning three of the first four matchups, which were all played in the 1960s. This includes a shocker of a 10-3 win in the 1969 regular season finale against Bud Grant’s Vikings, who dropped to 12-2, and who wound up making it to the first of their four Super Bowl appearances that season.
