Rams-Vikings Week 8 Game Thread

The Los Angeles Rams (2-4) host the Minnesota Vikings (5-1) on Thursday Night Football in Week 8 of the NFL season. The Vikings just lost their first game of the season against the Detroit Lions, while the Rams were coming off a win against the New Vegas Raiders. This could be a “real” game for the Vikings, but it could also be a launching pad for the Rams.

If LA finds a way to win this game, they will move to 3-4 and have a chance at .500 when they play the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9. If LA loses, their season won't be over, but a playoff run will be hard to imagine.

The Vikings were in control of the NFC North until last week when they lost to the Lions. Head coach Kevin O'Connell has proven so far that he is one of the NFL's premier players, and with O'Connell also calling the plays, look for Justin Jefferson and Sam Darnold against LA's secondary (which may have the role will play) get on track Best they've been all season.

Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford should have a lot to prepare for against Brian Flores and the Vikings defense. Will LA's offensive line be able to withstand the attack? Will they be able to keep up overall?
