If the Falcons beat the Saints in New Orleans...watch the tape

Just watched the highlights this season when the 1-7 Atlanta Falcons went into New Orleans and beat them 26-9. It can be done.

Need 2 things:

1. The defense to put pressure on Drew Brees
2. Offense has to score points

The Vikings can obviously do the first one; but it has to be sustained and throughout the whole game. The Falcons mainly did it with their DL with a few blitz packages sprinkled in. Anthony Barr needs to be a monster on Sunday.

The second one is a little more of we don't know which Kirk Cousins will show up. Good Kirk or Bad Kirk. If Bad Kirk, shows up, the Vikings have no shot. Period. Stick a fork in them, they are done. The Vikings cannot abandon the run game and with both Cook and Mattison suiting up, we should pound the rock and pound it some more; this will also keep Brees and the Saints offense off the field.
