Vikings Win 42-21 Against Falcons Without Gilmore

The Minnesota Vikings secured a decisive 42-21 victory over the Atlanta Falcons, with wide receiver Jordan Addison achieving a career-high performance by scoring three touchdowns and amassing 133 yards on eight receptions. The Falcons struggled with turnovers and penalties, which contributed to their loss despite efforts to regroup and improve their gameplay. The Vikings were without cornerback Stephon Gilmore due to a hamstring injury, with several other players listed as questionable possibly impacting their defensive lineup. The absence of Gilmore meant Byron Murphy Jr., Shaq Griffin, and Fabian Moreau stepped up as the top cornerback options for the Vikings. This win keeps the Vikings at an 11-2 record, cementing their strong position in the season. The Falcons remain focused on improving their performance and minimizing errors as they look forward to the remaining games of the season.
