Filtered by the Fans: Ngakoue Expected to Nab Vikings 1st Sack Against Falcons

[Viktor]

Vikings defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo received 13.8 percent of the votes, while linebacker Eric Kendricks received 12.6 percent. A category of "other" accounted for 12.3 percent.


If Ngakoue does, indeed, take down Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan first, it will mark his sixth sack in Purple and fifth straight game with a sack, which would be the longest streak of his career. So far this season, he has notched sacks of Colts QB Philip Rivers, Titans QB Ryan Tannehill, Texans QB Deshaun Watson (two) and Seahawks QB Russell Wilson.


Ngakoue, who joined the Vikings via trade just before the start of the regular season, has 42.5 career sacks. A takedown of Ryan would mark his first of the Falcons signal-caller. This will be Ngakoue's second career game against Atlanta and first since his rookie season of 2016 with Jacksonville.
