The one-time 5-0 Minnesota Vikings were being highly talked about around the NFL circles, but after dropping two games in a row, the talking heads aren’t so sure about Minnesota. The loss to Detroit two weeks ago didn’t hurt the Vikings all that much. While at home, the Lions are one of the better teams in the NFC, and both teams played well.
But Thursday’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams stung a little. The Rams entered the game banged up but got Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua back for the game. The Vikings’ secondary struggled to stop Matt Stafford and the vaunted passing attack.
Following Week 8 loss to the Rams, the Vikings took a dip in ESPN’s power rankings. Entering Week 8, Minnesota was ranked No. 6 but after losing to the Rams, the Vikings are now No. 8 entering Week 9.
With a home game against the Colts coming up on Sunday Night Football, the Vikings are hoping to right their wrongs and get back into the win column.
