After leading for the majority of the contest, the Falcons were unable to put Sunday’s game against the Vikings away in the fourth quarter. Atlanta knocked Minnesota quarterback Jaren Hall out of the game in the first quarter, but Josh Dobbs came in and the Falcons had no answer.
Dobbs used his arm and his legs to lead a game-winning drive in the fourth quarte, handing the Falcons their fifth loss of the season. Atlanta’s lack of discipline and inability to protect the football came back to bite the team in Week 9.
