An opposing team has never had a 100 yard receiver at U.S. Bank Stadium.#Vikings have kept some dominant pass catchers in check in this building. Add Atlanta's trio to the mix.
Easy. https://t.co/tzKP9LYX3Y

Mackensie Alexander injury update:
#Vikings CB Mackensie Alexander suffered a dislocated elbow, source said. Explains why he was in so much pain after the collision. Obviously done for today, but hopefully not a long-term thing for rising nickel.
