Will you be able to watch this week's game on TV? If you live in the green areas on the map below you’ll get this game on your local FOX channels, according to 506sports.com:

Kickoff for Falcons vs. Vikings is at 1:00 p.m. ET with Chris Myers and Mark Schlereth calling the game on FOX.

Both teams are dealing with a quarterback switch midway through the season for different reasons. 

The Falcons have benched Desmond Ridder for the week and will have backup Tyler Heinicke under center. Atlanta's rushing attack led by Bijan Robinson has been solid this season and they'll try to rely heavily on that, especially with top wide receiver Drake London out due to a hamstring injury. 

Minnesota will start rookie Jaren Hall on Sunday since Kirk Cousins is done for the year after having season-ending surgery. This game will make Hall's first career start and he won't have to worry about facing Falcons' top defender Grady Jarrett who is done for the season with a knee injury. 

There are two other NFL teams playing on the FOX early slate this Sunday:

Los Angeles Rams @ Green Bay Packers (red)

Washington Commanders @ New England Patriots (blue)
