The 3-point favored Vikings have a lot on the line this week and will have to do it without their Pro Bowl nose tackle. The Vikings have the league’s No. 1 rushing defense thanks in large part to tackles Kevin and Pat Williams. They will be facing the NFL’s top-ranked rushing offense on Sunday when they play Atlanta without Pat Williams, who will miss two-to-six weeks after suffering a broken scapula in his right shoulder Sunday.

Sunday's game will be key because the Vikings could lock up the NFC North with a victory or a Chicago loss next Monday night against Green Bay.

The Falcons need their run defense to be firm again against Minnesota and Adrian Peterson, the league’s top rusher.
