Deion Jones, A.J. Terrell and Foyesade Oluokun all selected Cousins in the very first half, resulting in 17 points. The Falcons touchdown drives after the first 2 picks covered 29 and 40 backyards, and the field goal drive was 46 yards.
The Falcons are seeing the bump from a coaching change, with newfound life after Raheem Morris changed Dan Quinn. The Vikings are seeing the hangover from not completing a game they need to have won recently.
The Vikings, who saw Alexander Mattison lose on fourth-and-one in the final 2 minutes Sunday, had a fourth-and-one from the Atlanta 1. Mike Boone was picked up a 1-yard loss by Keanu Neal.
Matt Ryan is 19-of-23 for 184 yards and 2 touchdowns. Julio Jones, returning from a hamstring injury, has actually caught four passes for 52 backyards and a goal, and Calvin Ridley has 5 catches for 54 lawns and a goal.
The Falcons ran out of time to transform the final rating into a goal, going for a chip-shot basket after reaching the Minnesota 2-yard line with 5 seconds remaining.
In a must-win game for the Vikings, Kirk Cousins has thrown three interceptions and Minnesota again stopped working on fourth-and-one deep in the red zone. The Falcons lead 20-0 at halftime.
