The Falcons will take on two of the NFC’s finest teams in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium over the next week. Before they face New Orleans in a long-awaited divisional clash, Dan Quinn’s side will encounter the Minnesota Vikings. It’s an excellent matchup between two formidable teams. The Vikings are one of the most well-rounded, well-coached teams in the league. An opportunistic offense and stout defense makes them extremely difficult to beat. Under Mike Zimmer’s guidance, they are more than capable of playing a home game in February.
After defeating numerous second and third tier teams in the NFC, it’s time for the Falcons to make their mark against top tier opponents.
