The Minnesota Vikings and the Atlanta Falcons will face off on Sunday in Week 12 of the NFL 2015 regular season as both teams continue their push to claim a Playoff spot. The game has a scheduled start time of 1 p.m. ET and takes place from Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia. The game can be watched on TV on the Fox network or online through live stream via the link below.

The Falcons have fallen to 6-4 and their recent downturn in form is threatening their postseason hopes. They will be looking at today's game as a vital one to get themselves back on track and regroup for another win streak.

The Vikings meanwhile have been fighting for division supremacy but have been unable to pull themselves out front. They come into today's game on 7-3 knowing that the result of today's game could go a long way to determining where they finish this season.

The Vikings had gained top spot in the NFC North after claiming five straight wins, while the Green Bay Packers slipped to three straight losses. However, the Packers gained the win 30-13 when the pair clashed last week, and that was a major setback for Minnesota. So they will have enjoyed seeing the Packers lose out to the Chicago Bears earlier this week on Thanksgiving. That opens the door with another opportunity now for the Vikings, and they will know how important it is to take advantage of the Packers lackluster holiday week.

Earlier this week, Thanksgiving Day saw three big games take place on Thursday. The first game was between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Detroit Lions, although in essence only one of the teams seemed to turn up as the Lions routed the Eagles 45-14.

Michael Stafford managed to claim a career high five touchdown passes, with three of them going to Calvin Johnson, as the Lions claimed their third straight win.

Oppositely, the Eagles fell to a third straight loss, and the result left both teams on 4-7 and with little chance of either making the postseason.

In the second of three games to take place on Thursday, the Carolina Panthers continued to make their case that they could potentially end the regular season with a perfect record, with a 33-14 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

Apart from the result, the big news from Arlington, Texas on Thursday was that Tony Romo is now likely out for the rest of the season with the same injury that had kept him out for seven straight games this season.

Romo has tried his best to make an impact, insisting on coming back earlier than some may have advised, however, on Thursday he gave up three interceptions with two of them being returned for touchdowns.

Later, the Cowboys' star quarterback injured the same left collarbone that had kept him out for seven games, and the latest loss leaves the Cowboys on 3-8 and all but out of the reckoning for the Playoff spots.

Meanwhile, the Panthers became just the 16th NFL team ever to start the season 11-0 on their Thanksgiving debut.

The final game of the day say the Chicago Bears pull off a stunning upset to defeat the Green Bay Packers 17-13. Jay Cutler threw for 200 yards and a touchdown to help his team over the line.

The game went right down to the wire with the Packers on fourth and goal from the eight yard line with just 22 seconds to go. However, they were unable to convert and that left the Bears celebrating a memorable victory.

The result means the Bears have won three of their last four games to move them to 5-6, and if they can continue this good run of form they may still be able to sneak a Playoff spot. Meanwhile, the Packers fall to 7-4 with their second straight loss at Lambeau, and their downturn in form will continue to worry those in Green Bay.
