Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr was extremely disruptive in a Week 12 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He recorded eight tackles (seven solo, one for a loss), two forced fumbles and a sack.

Before Sunday, the Vikings hadn't seen a defensive stat line like that since 1992. The player who posted it was Hall of Fame defensive end Chris Doleman.

With his performance vs. ATL @itheeayb is the 1st Viking since Chris Doleman in '92 with at least 8 tckls, 2 FFs and 1 sack in a single game

Barr is only in his second NFL season, but the former ninth-overall draft pick is already one of Minnesota's biggest difference-makers on defense. His efforts, on this play in particular, helped limit the Falcons to just 10 points in Week 12.
