6 biggest takeaways from the Vikings loss to the Rams in Week 16

The Minnesota Vikings came up short against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16 but there was a lot to learn about the team during the game.

Week 16 saw the Los Angeles Rams come to U.S Bank Stadium to take on the Minnesota Vikings. The purple and gold were coming off a two-game winning streak after knocking off the Steelers and Bears during the previous weeks.

Sadly, the Vikings weren’t able to keep that positive momentum going. The Rams led the entire way and beat Minnesota by a final score of 23-30, keeping their trend of being in one-score games alive.

Minnesota moved to 7-8 on the season and saw their chances of a postseason berth plunge. Their final two games of the season will be in Green Bay against the Packers and at home against the Chicago Bears.

But before looking too far ahead at the next two games for the Minnesota Vikings, let’s take a look at some of the things that happened in Week 16 against the Rams and what they could mean for the team going forward.
