The Minnesota Vikings have reached the point in their schedule where they are not facing a Super Bowl contender just about every week and now have a month-long slate against teams unlikely to make the postseason or are on the verge of preparing for next season. That includes the LA Rams who at 2-4 are longshots to make the postseason and are on the verge of trading a core but aging player in Cooper Kupp for future draft capital.
That’s not to say the Rams are going to lay down for the Vikings on Thursday night.
