The most recognizable game between the Vikings and Falcons happened in January of 1999. Atlanta upset the heavily favored Vikings in the NFC Championship game. As much as that pains Minnesota fans to this day, it's not the only game between these two teams.

Minnesota (2-8) travels to Atlanta for a week 12 clash with the Atlanta Falcons (6-4), who are embroiled in a playoff race with New Orleans in the NFC South.

The Atlanta Falcons have cut former Vikings defensive end Ray Edwards. Edwards, who signed a five-year, $27.5 million contract last season, totaled just 3.5 sacks in 25 games with Atlanta -- and none this year.

Without Adrian Peterson in the lineup, the Vikings make it interesting in Atlanta.
