The Vikings will put their seven-game winning streak on the line Sunday when they face the Falcons.

Atlanta has won three straight. The Vikings’ path from a .500 finish last season to first place in the NFC North this year appears to be the same as the Falcons’ course in 2015 and 2016.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Case Keenum has been named the NFC Player of the Month for November. Keenum completed 69 of 97 passes (71.1 percent) for 866 yards and seven touchdowns over three games, with just two interceptions and two sacks.

The last Vikings quarterback to win the award was Brett Favre, in 2009.
