Minnesota Vikings lose 30-20 to the Los Angeles Rams, marking their second consecutive defeat.

The Minnesota Vikings lost 30-20 to the Los Angeles Rams, marking their second straight defeat. A critical moment occurred when officials missed a clear facemask penalty against Rams linebacker Byron Young while sacking quarterback Sam Darnold, which could have changed the game's outcome. Despite this, both Darnold and coach Kevin O'Connell emphasized the need for improvement rather than blaming officiating. The Vikings now hold a 5-2 record, with injuries raising concerns for the team.
