The Minnesota Vikings ended their undefeated streak last week and found themselves in a two-way tie for the top of the NFC North, with the Green Bay Packers nipping at their heels. This week, the team has a chance to regain the lead.
The Los Angeles Rams might not be the definition of a fearsome opponent this year with their cellar-dwelling 2-4 record, but the return of wide receiver Cooper Kupp from the injured list could give the team a boost on offense. And the Rams are coming off of a win last weekend against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Here’s how to watch this week’s matchup and what you can expect from Thursday night games tonight (and in the weeks to come).
