The NFL released the 2019 schedule on Wednesday for all teams.
You can check out the Vikings’ schedule here.
The Vikings will open the season at home on Sunday, Sept. 8 at noon against the Atlanta Falcons. The game will air on FOX.
It’s a fun Week 1 matchup against a team in a similar position as the Vikings.
The Vikings are coming off an 8-7-1 season, while the Falcons are coming off a 7-9, both second in their respective divisions and not good enough for a playoff appearance.
Disappointments are what these teams were last season. But 2019 is a new year, baby! Anything can happen!
The Vikings are 19-11 all time against the Falcons and have won the last three game, the last coming on Dec. 3, 2017 at Mercedes Benz Stadium. Minnesota won 14-9 and limited Matt Ryan to just 173 passing yards.
Obviously these teams have changed since then considering Case Keenum was Minnesota’s quarterback for that game.
It will be a big test for the Vikings defense is they’ll try to shut down Julio Jones, who might be the best receiver in the league.
It’s also a game that certainly could mean something as far as tiebreakers go down the stretch.
