The Minnesota Vikings face a huge challenge this Sunday, and their road to earning a first round bye in the playoffs could hinge on a win. A road game against the Atlanta Falcons awaits the Vikings. It is a game with a couple of hidden stipulations. How the Minnesota Vikings handle Julio Jones, the Falcons’ star receiver will go a long way in determining the outcome in the pivotal NFL matchup.
When the 9-2 Minnesota Vikings face the 7-4 Atlanta Falcons, both teams will have something to play for. The Vikings have a three-game lead over the Detroit Lions in the NFC North. Meanwhile, the Falcons are attempting to maintain their hold on the final wild card spot, with the NFC South possibily in reach.
This game has a different meaning for the Vikings, who are looking more like a Super Bowl contender with each victory. The Vikings road gets easier if they can stop the Falcons’ offense featuring Julio Jones.
