Minnesota sits at 5-1 now, tied with the Lions for the division lead, remaining one of the best teams in football behind QB Sam Darnold. WR Justin Jefferson led the team with 7 catches for 81 yards and a touchdown.

The Rams notched their 2nd win of the season Sunday, beating the Las Vegas Raiders, 20-15. They’re now 2-4 and 1½ games behind the division-leading Seattle Seahawks, so they’re not out of the playoff hunt just yet.
