The Atlanta Falcons (6-6) are facing off against the Minnesota Vikings (10-2) in an NFC competition. Of course, this matchup is highlighted by Kirk Cousins’ return to Minnesota after spending the last six seasons with that organization.
That being said, the first time Cousins hit the field it was going to be electric:
