Second Thoughts: Vikings won the turnover battle and lost to the Rams, setting a dubious franchise record

In the second quarter on Sunday, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford evaded Vikings defensive end D.J. Wonnum, scrambled to his left and flung a pass back toward Sony Michel on the right side of the field. Anthony Barr snagged it for an easy interception, running it back to the Rams' 11.

On the Rams' second play of the third quarter, Stafford heaved a deep ball for Van Jefferson into double coverage, and Xavier Woods ran the interception back to the Vikings' 38.

Then, on the Rams' next possession, Dalvin Tomlinson tipped a Stafford pass for Tyler Higbee, Barr corralled it and ran his second interception of the day back to the Rams' 2.
