Week 13

Opponent: at Atlanta Falcons
2016 Record: 11-5

It does not get much tougher than playing a Falcons team on the road, who was the runner-up in the last Super Bowl.

The Vikings actually had this same situation playing the previous Super Bowl runner ups when they went to Carolina in week 3 last year. They had no problem beating the 2015 NFC champs 22-10.

This likely will be a tougher task. The Falcons have their key players like Matt Ryan and Julio Jones coming back who appear in the prime of their career.
