This was a very good win and a fun game to watch. We looked better than last year all around. I loved how we seized control right from the beginning and never let go. Bit of an understatement. Atlanta's first drive started with a monster sack, and ended with no first down and a blocked punt. Viking TD Atlanta INT Viking TD all in what 6 minutes? I figured the Vikings would win but man it was over before it started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 A day after scoring a huge extension, Julio Jones scored a touchdown, as well. But it was too late and far too little. Sure, Jones, in his 112th game, became the second-fastest receiver to 700 catches, but he continued to struggle against the Vikings, who have held him down like no other team. The touchdown was his first in five games against Minnesota and his 31 yards were shy of his dismal average in his previous four games versus the Vikings (40.5). The Vikings defense and cornerback Xavier Rhodes, in particular, continue to confound one of the game's greatest receivers. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001052213/article/what-we-learned-from-sundays-week-1-games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlanta couldn't cover Thielen or Diggs, and that was on the rare occasion that we wanted or needed to complete a big pass.(Cousins only threw ten times.) Basically it was all about our defense and our improved running game under Stefanski and Kubiak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikes_Bolts1228 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 ATL is no slouch. Lot of "pundits" had them AT LEAST making the playoffs. A few the Super Bowl. We just dismantled them with no effort... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
