The Vikings host the Atlanta Falcons Sunday at noon, pregame on WJON at 11 a.m. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He says Falcons top receiver Julio Jones missed practice this week and may miss the game against the Vikings.

Earlier this week, ESPN reported that four Falcons players and/or personnel had tested positive, a figure later disputed by the organization.

The Atlanta Falcons have shut down their team facilities due to 'multiple positive COVID tests.' The Falcons are scheduled to play against the Vikings at US Bank Stadium on Sunday.

The Vikings will try to bounce back Sunday when they host the Atlanta Falcons at US Bank Stadium.

Should the Vikings even be trying to win at this point? Does Bill Guerin know what he's doing or not? Will the Wolves ever recover from Jimmy Butler leaving town?

Four weeks have already passed in the 2020 NFL season. Despite a couple of scares with the Titans and Patriots, only one game has been moved out of its scheduled week due to COVID-19.

The Vikings won 31-23 at Houston against the Texans Sunday to improve to 1-3. The Bears and Lions both lost Sunday. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan thinks the Vikings could over take both the Lions and Bears and finish 2nd in the NFC North. Jim says the Lions are a mess on defense while the Bears are shaky on offense despite their 3-1 record.

The Vikings are scheduled to play in Houston on Sunday afternoon.

This week's slate includes a handful of juicy matchups including the Chargers at Buffalo, Dallas at Seattle, Green Bay at New Orleans and Kansas City at Baltimore. The Vikings will also (allegedly) play.

The start of the Minnesota Vikings season continues to take a hit as the team announced Monday linebacker Anthony Barr will miss the rest of the season.
