Rams Beat Vikings 30-20 in Primetime

The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Minnesota Vikings 30-20, marking their second consecutive win and improving to a 3-4 record. Matthew Stafford excelled, throwing for 279 yards and four touchdowns, with both Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua making impactful returns from injury; Nacua finished with 106 yards receiving and Kupp contributed a touchdown. The Vikings, now 5-2 after back-to-back losses, struggled defensively, allowing four touchdowns for the second week in a row and losing key left tackle Christian Darrisaw to injury. Despite offensive contributions from Sam Darnold and Justin Jefferson, Minnesota failed to capitalize in critical moments, managing only two field goals in the second half. The Rams' performance has raised questions about their playoff viability, while the Vikings must address their declining defensive effectiveness as they look to rebound from their recent slump.
