It was about as dominant of a performance as you could’ve hoped for on Sunday when the Vikings hosted the Atlanta Falcons. The Minnesota crowd welcomed back Kirk Cousins with a loud chorus of boos to begin the game, and while the Falcons got things started off strong when they marched down the field for a touchdown — the game was all Vikings after.
Minnesota picked off Cousins twice and recovered a fumble. On the other side of things, Sam Darnold was fabulous and threw five touchdown passes. Jordan Addison had a hat trick by catching three of those, and Justin Jefferson broke his two-month-long drought by catching two touchdowns himself. Following the Vikings’ 42-21 win over Atlanta, here’s what social media had to say about the big Minnesota win.
