For the first time this season, the Minnesota Vikings will be playing in primetime when they face the Los Angeles Rams inside SoFi Stadium on Thursday.
The Vikings are coming off their first loss of the 2024 campaign, while the Rams picked up their second win of the season last Sunday when they defeated the Las Vegas Raiders.
Will Minnesota get things back on track in its trip to the west coast, or will Los Angeles find a way to pull off the upset?

Vikings at Rams Game Details
Location: SoFi Stadium
Kickoff Time: 7:15 p.m. CST
All-time Series Record: Vikings lead 27-18-2 (including 5-2 in postseason)
Thursday will be Minnesota's first trip to Los Angeles to take on the Rams since Week 4 of the 2018 season. The Vikings have never faced the Rams inside SoFi Stadium (building opened in 2020), but they did get a win inside the venue during Week 10 of the 2021 season when they defeated the Los Angeles Chargers.
Minnesota and the Rams last played in Week 16 of the 2021 campaign inside U.S. Bank Stadium. Los Angeles came out of that matchup with a victory, and the Vikings will be looking to deliver some payback on Thursday by defeating the Rams on their home field.
