Three keys

1) Make better adjustments – On Sunday, it seemed like the Lions were repeating many of the same things over and over again and continuing to have success. Brian Flores will have to adapt better against this Rams team if the same thing happens. The Rams may be 2-4, but Matthew Stafford is a capable quarterback who can make some noise if the Vikings can't pursue him.

2) Continue to stay balanced – The Vikings took some nice things away from their running game against Detroit, and they need to keep their balance tonight to keep the Rams off balance. Aaron Jones may still not be at 100 percent, but he showed on Sunday that his hamstring is still doing well. We hope he can continue to be the difference-maker he has been on offense.

3) Short memories – Sunday's game was a punch in the gut for this team, and it's probably a good thing they didn't have time to sit around and think about it too much before preparing for this game. This should be a game the Vikings can handle on paper, but we all know games aren't really played on paper. If this team performs to its capabilities, we should expect a rebound.
