Ways to watch Falcons-Vikings for free during Sunday Night Football

September 14, 2025

In just a few hours, Sunday Night Football kicks off for week two, featuring a matchup between two quarterbacks who were picked in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

The Atlanta Falcons are set to face off against the Minnesota Vikings in this week’s game, which will air on NBC and Peacock.

Minnesota’s quarterback, JJ McCarthy, had a rough start in week one against the Bears but secured a 27-24 win with a touchdown in the last quarter. Unfortunately for the Vikings, they will be without a key defensive player, Andrew Van Ginkel, due to a concussion.

The Falcons are looking for their first win after narrowly losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-20 in their opening game. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. had a decent showing, completing 27 of 42 passes for 342 yards and two touchdowns in only his fourth start.

Interestingly, McCarthy and Penix Jr. last faced each other in the 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship while leading Michigan and Washington, respectively.
