The Atlanta Falcons took a hard-fought loss at the hands of the Minnesota Vikings in Week 13. Here are 3 overreactions after the game.

The Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings came into Week 13 knowing whoever won this football game would be even closer to the NFC Playoffs. After a tough battle throughout the afternoon, it was Case Keenum and the Vikings who were able to come away victorious. Needless to say, there was a ton of disappointment for Falcons fans after a close loss at home.

Sure, losing any week of the season definitely sucks, but I don’t believe Atlanta has anything to hang their heads about after facing the Vikings. Not only that, but the Dirty Birds were one big play away from stealing a victory from Minnesota’s fingertips.

Even though the Vikings won, I don’t’ believe they want to face this Falcons football team when January rolls around.

At the same time, there are many Atlanta fans that are going too far in their analysis of how their football team performed in Week 13. No, they didn’t play well enough to win, but they gave us everything hat had to give.

That said, take a look at three overreactions from the Falcons game versus the Vikings.
