A week after authoring fourth-quarter heroics in a rousing Minnesota victory, Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy and the rest of the offense slogged through 60 mostly rough minutes in a 22-6 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night at U.S. Bank Stadium.

— Bijan Robinson got back to work on the ground, and the Atlanta Falcons were back in business.
