The Vikings stand first around the league in interceptions and third around the league in sacks. Brian Flores' defense also stood 19 seconds, 44 yards and a field goal away from being 6-0. That should travel to SoFi Stadium against a Rams offense that may no longer include Cooper Kupp by the NFL trade deadline.
The Rams offense will get a boost with the return of Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, but will still have their hands full against Brian Flores' Vikings defense. Allowing over 150 yards per game on the ground (30th in football), Aaron Jones paces Minnesota's offense to a road victory.
The Rams will get their best two wide receivers back, but it may not be enough to lift them past Brian Flores' Vikings defense. Six games in, that unit has been the bedrock upon which Minnesota built its 5-1 record - and it will again play a crucial role in lifting the team to 6-1 on Thursday night.
