Falcons, Vikings both need win
| Why To Watch Sunday's matchup between the Vikings and Falcons is an important game for two teams that entered the 2005 season with the highest of expectations. If the Vikings are to pull to .500 after an 0-2 start, QB Daunte Culpepper must build on the momentum of his three-touchdown, zero-interception performance last week. Minnesota also needs the big plays to continue on defense, but it can't come at the expense of breaking contain versus explosive QB Michael Vick.
With the Buccaneers off to a perfect start in the NFC South, the Falcons can't afford to stumble. A heavy dose of Vick, Warrick Dunn and T.J. Duckett on the ground gives Atlanta its best chance to fend off a dangerous Vikings team that has their backs against the wall.
