Vikings schedule: Is Minnesota playing today?

Will the Minnesota Vikings be on the field today in Week 8 of the NFL schedule?

Following a tight 31-29 loss to the Detroit Lions, the Vikings are on the road in Los Angeles to face the Rams in Thursday Night Football.

The Vikings scored 12 points in the fourth quarter to take a late lead against the Lions, but Detroit kicked a field goal with 15 seconds remaining to end Minnesota’s unbeaten run.

The Rams may only be 2-4 on the year, but Los Angeles has played in five close games to start the season, and scored an upset win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3.

Thursday’s game will only be available on Amazon Prime Video, and will kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET.
