Clutch Encounters: MIN-LAR

Thursday Night Football finished a strong September with a heavyweight bout between the Vikings and Rams in Los Angeles. The game looked amazing on paper a week ago, but after Minnesota's historic bruising by Buffalo on Sunday, the strange Everson Griffen situation, and some injuries to key players, we weren't sure what to expect on a short week.

Fortunately, the shootout was on immediately with five straight scoring drives to begin the game. By the end of the night, Jared Goff turned in a career-best performance after completing 26-of-33 passes for 465 yards, five touchdowns, no interceptions, and a perfect 158.
