The Vikings haven't yet announced what uniforms they will wear, but it's fair to assume they'll go with white uniform tops to counter the all-black look of the Falcons.
Both teams will be breaking in new quarterbacks in Week 9, as coach Arthur Smith and the Falcons have benched Desmond Ridder in favor of Taylor Heinicke. Meanwhile, Kirk Cousins suffered a season-ending torn achilles in Week 8, so the Vikings will turn to rookie Jaren Hall, who was a fifth-round pick out of BYU in this year's NFL Draft. The Falcons are currently four-point home favorites.
