The Minnesota Vikings have a tough challenge ahead of them in Week 16 but will find a way to beat the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

Week 16 of the 2021 NFL season is already underway and fans of the Minnesota Vikings are a bit worried about the future of their franchise despite winning back-to-back games and getting to a 7-7 record on the season.

Their victories over the Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Bears were not very convincing. Plus, their opponents on Sunday are the Los Angeles Rams, a team that has many great weapons on both sides of the ball.

In the middle of fighting for a playoff spot this season, Minnesota will have to face of against the Rams without Dalvin Cook and with Kirk Cousins dealing with a rib injury. A loss could potentially put them in a terrible position heading into the final two weeks of the season.

Thankfully, the Minnesota Vikings will enter Week 17 with an 8-7 record and one step closer to the postseason after taking care of the Rams at U.S. Bank Stadium. Here are three reasons the purple and gold will be victorious.
