The Minnesota Vikings and LA Rams will square off in the NFC wild-card round on Monday night. Both teams are fresh off impressive regular seasons that saw them reach the 10-win mark.
Before their crunch matchup, let's examine the weather forecast for the Vikings versus the Rams showdown.

How did the Vikings and Rams perform in the regular season?
The Minnesota Vikings had a sensational regular season under the guidance of coach Kevin O’Connell. The Vikings ended the regular season with a 14-3 record and were just a win away from topping the NFC. Their only losses this season came against the Detroit Lions (twice) and the Rams.
Thus, the Vikings will seek revenge over Sean McVay's troops in tonight's game. Expect Sam Darnold to target Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison in the air and utilize the skills of Aaron Jones and Cam Akers on the ground.
The LA Rams, meanwhile, had a stellar season in 2024. They started the year on a bumpy ride, losing four of their first five games. However, they bounced back nicely and lost just three games for the rest of the season.
The Rams were victorious the last time they played the Minnesota Vikings. That Week 8 loss was the Vikings' only loss of the season to a team other than the Lions, and it will provide a great backstory for tonight's matchup. Expect Matthew Stafford to utilize the skills of Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp in the air and the energy-reliable Kyren Williams on the ground.
