Here are the good, bad, and interesting things from the Minnesota Vikings Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Rams from Thursday Night Football on Sept. 27.

The Minnesota Vikings entered their Thursday Night Football matchup in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Rams on a bit of a sour note. The team was coming off a crushing loss to the Bills and were without their star defensive end Everson Griffen, who missed his second game due to non-injury reasons.

Still, the purple and gold went to The City of Angels on a short week to face a team who were 3-0 on the season and had beaten each of their opponents by double-digit margins in a convincing fashion.

While many expected the Vikings to fall apart against the Rams, a team who is a trendy pick for the Super Bowl, Minnesota instead rose to the occasion to push Los Angeles to the limit, yet fell short by a final score of 31-38.

There were plenty of good, bad, and interesting things that happened during the game, so let’s dive into it all starting with the big positives from the Minnesota Vikings Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4 on Thursday Night Football!
