The Minnesota Vikings and Atlanta Falcons face off Sunday, Nov. 5, and they have more in common than the 4-4 records. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial) and DirecTV Stream (free trial).

Each team’s quarterback plans for the remainder of the season appear uncertain, but could be defined by the performances of Sunday’s new starters.

Perhaps the only certainty for either team’s immediate future at the position is the Vikings know they’ve lost Kirk Cousins until 2024 with a torn right Achilles tendon last week.

A rash of turnovers cost Falcons second-year quarterback Desmond Ridder his starting job for at least one week. Taylor Heinicke will make his first start of the season.

Heinicke says he’s focused only on the one game because he doesn’t know if the starting job will be his for more than one game after coach Arthur Smith said “our focus is short-term.”

Rookie Jaren Hall will make his first career start for the Vikings. Nick Mullens, the primary backup, is on injured reserve with a lower back injury. Minnesota acquired former Arizona starter Joshua Dobbs on Tuesday, hours before the trade deadline.

Hall, a fifth-round draft pick from BYU, took over in the fourth quarter in last week’s 24-10 win at Green Bay after Cousins’ injury.

Heinicke, a sixth-year pro, has the advantage of similar in-season quarterback changes with Washington the last two years. Heinicke took over in the second half of last week’s 28-23 loss at Tennessee.

Ridder was evaluated for a concussion last week, but remained on the sideline after he was cleared and will serve as Heinicke’s backup.
