Minnesota Vikings vs. Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night

A four and out, not a three and out, to start for the Vikings offense and J.J. McCarthy. McCarthy appeared to drop the snap on a fourth-and-inches sneak on the Vikings’ 36-yard line. Turnover on downs.

Vikings fans made a different on the opening drive of the game. After Bijan Robinson popped off runs of 25 and 17 yards, the Falcons offense struggled in the red zone under the barrage of a noisy crowd. They took a timeout before third down, then had a false start and came up short on the third-and-10. The offense stayed on for fourth-and-2 but took a delay of game penalty, and ultimately the Falcons settled for a 38-yard field goal kicked by former Viking Parker Romo.

The Falcons elect to receive the opening kickoff and the Vikings will start on defense.
