Man, if the Vikings blow this, they are going to go down as the most fraudulent 14 win team in NFL history.
Didn't they lose out once when they had 15 wins? Vikings are a joke of a franchise and always are pretenders...their fans must hate life right now.

They are a joke, but the year they won 15 games at least they won a playoff game and made it into the NFCCG.

I'll be honest, Darnold has been pretty damn good this season. The collapse this last game and a half is pretty crazy.

I mean, as much hype as Verse and Fiske get... the Rams defense isn't good this year. They are stepping up in this game, sure, but there is no reason for dude to look this bad.

As for the Vikings defense, I have no idea why they keep blitzing. They get cooked literally every single time. I mean, I know it's worked for them this season, but is it literally the only thing they know?
That's Flores' thing. It either works or it doesn't. I don't believe they were particularly good against solid QBs this year, but that's just my recollection without any data

Those 6 sacks killed the Vikings, reading from the box score, the Vikings ran the ball more and better than the Rams, Darnold and Stafford have similar stats except Darnold's 7 sacks and 1 INT. Sounded like Rams' DL dominated Vikings' OL?

They blitzed Stafford 12 times in Week 8, got pressure 0 times on those blitzes. Definition of insanity and all that.

How many times will he get sacked before he says screw it I'm just going to throw it away.

Vikings don’t have a good line. It’s not much better than Seattle’s

Barely beating their backups didn't demoralize the Rams the way everyone said it would. Don't you play to win the game? It must be bothering the Rams that they missed out on all the momentum and winning culture they could have had.

Darnold held the ball for an hour straight legend says.

What a terrible performance for a 14-3 team.
