Minnesota Vikings at Falcons

He took it out on the Atlanta Falcons. Cheer on the Bengals to take care of business and the Rams will be one less team we even need to consider.

Atlanta gives up 5.4 yards per play, which ranks 13th in the league compared to previous year when it surrendered an NFL-worst 6.1 yards per play. He also had a crucial fumble in the fourth quarter that thwarted any hopes of a comeback.

“Yeah, man, this is a big win for us to be sitting at 8-3 right now – huge win”, said defensive end Everson Griffen, who resurfaced with a pivotal third-down sack in the third quarter. “Coming in here, just being conscious of holding the ball tight, and taking advantage of any opportunities they present me with”. He moved into 19th on the NFL’s all-time rushing list, moving past Corey Dillon and O.J. Simpson on Sunday. If those three things are all working together, the Vikings are able to be successful.

“I know that people are upset with Matt Ryan about his turnovers, but Matt Ryan is a great player, too”, Zimmer said.

Last week against the Colts, quarterback Matt Ryan threw a pick-six from his own end zone. Yeah, us neither. Since that super-hot start in Quinn’s first season at the helm, Atlanta has been ruined by its own inefficiency, with a thoroughly unimpressive 10-7 victory over the Titans on October 26 the team’s only win in its last six games.

“It starts with me”, Ryan said. None of the linebackers got so much as a quarterback hit, and the only good play I saw from any of them was a tackle for a loss by Kendricks. Bridgewater completed 20 of 28 passes for 174 yards and an interception-for a rating of 72.6.

Sunday’s game at the Georgia Dome provided a possible playoff preview, albeit a little further south. Thanks to four Falcons turnovers, the Vikings were 20-10 winners in Atlanta to retake sole possession of first place in the NFC North. But they head into their game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday with a 6-4 record and on a three-game losing streak.

The Seahawks, 5-5, play Pittsburgh this afternoon in Seattle, so a Steelers win would also help the cause. There is only one week left until the fantasy football playoffs, in most leagues. The star, however, was Peterson, who carried the ball 29 times for 158 yards and two scores.

Who do you think will win this game and what are your final score predictions? The Bengals’ 31 points equaled the second-most against St. Louis this season. Visiting Miami (4-7) has dropped four of five and is 3-4 under interim coach Dan Campbell. Three straight road games starting next week isn’t the ideal scenario either, although the last of those games is against the Jacksonville. And as it gets to crunch time, we have to recognize when it’s time to finish…. Asiata gained three yards, and the Vikings had to settle for a field goal.
