Former Atlanta Falcons big man Roderick Coleman was arrested for DUI last weekend after spinning his truck out near Atlanta. The ex-defensive lineman reportedly was close to killing some bikers as his truck almost hit a bunch of motorcycles. Meanwhile, the current roster of the Atlanta Falcons is set to take on the Minnesota Vikings, and are favored to win.

Roderick Coleman, a 9-year veteran of the NFL, was arrested last Sunday after reportedly spinning out and hitting a curb and nearly taking out bunch of bikers, leading to a DUI charge (via TMZ):

"We're told the truck came thiiiis close to hitting a group of bikers who were in town for a motorcycle convention -- but fortunately he missed. "

For those Falcons who are still on the field, sports writer Ben Goessling thinks Atlanta is going to top the Minnesota Vikings by a score of 30-14 (via ESPN):

"The Vikings' pass defense contained Drew Brees for chunks of last Sunday's game in New Orleans, and they'll no doubt put up a fight against Ryan this week. But without an effective ground game to control the clock and limit the Falcons' possessions, I don't think the Vikings will be able to hang with Atlanta."
