Only nine of the 32 teams in the NFL this season have a winning record. Sunday's contest between the Vikings (7-4) and Falcons (6-4) will see two of them.
Admittedly, Atlanta has tried its hardest to leave the aforementioned exclusive group. After starting the season 5-0, the Falcons have dropped four of their last five games. A three-game losing streak allowed the rest of the NFC to catch up.
The Vikings -- who've spent the last few years trying to catch up to the Packers -- will jump to first place in the NFC North with a victory.
For those out of network, the contest between the two can be found here (requires free trial registration).
