Rams Defeat Vikings 30-20 on Thursday Night

The Los Angeles Rams achieved a 30-20 victory over the Minnesota Vikings, improving their record to 3-4 and showcasing a revitalized offense with the return of key receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. Quarterback Matthew Stafford threw for 279 yards and four touchdowns, while Nacua caught seven passes for 106 yards and Kupp contributed five receptions for 51 yards and a touchdown. The Vikings, now 5-2, struggled defensively, committing nine penalties and losing starting left tackle Christian Darrisaw to injury. The Rams capitalized on the Vikings' mistakes, with Demarcus Robinson catching two touchdown passes and the defense sealing the game with a safety. Minnesota's offense was limited to just two field goals in the final three quarters, marking a disappointing follow-up to their first loss of the season. This victory marks the Rams' first back-to-back wins of the year and keeps them in contention in the NFC West, trailing the Seahawks by just one game.
