Rams are winning at half time 14-6, one touchdown coming from a Keenum pick six. This was by far Keenum's worst half of the year. The team looks out of sync, at home, while the crowd is screaming "Teddy! Teddy!"

The Vikings, realizing that now is the time, bring in their once thought franchise QB Teddy Bridgewater, and the crowd goes wild! Momentum has swung in favor of the home team. Bridgewater instantly leads his first drive to a touchdown to Kyle Rudolph, who the Rams apparently forgot to cover. But the game is far from over, as teams exchange scores again, going into the 4th with a score of 17-16 Rams. This is Teddy's, shining defining moment, as the quarter remains scoreless until the last 2 minutes, as Teddy caps off a magnificent 98 yard 4th quarter comeback to beat the Rams. The crowd goes INSANE!!!

Just finishing the story for you guys!

You forgot the last part:

The Rams get the ball back with 30 seconds left. Goff throws up the seam and hits Higbee with a huge completion. Rams a call a timeout with 20 seconds left. Goff completes another to Woods down the field to get the Rams inside the Vikings 25 with 7 seconds left, and the Rams spend their final timeout. With the entire game on the line, Vikings fans go nuts. It's deafening. No one can hear anything. The ball is snapped, Goff looks left, comes back to the right, and hits Kupp for the 25-yard game-winning TD with the clock at 0:00. The roars of a few Rams fans pierce the air as all of the Vikings fans go silent. What a stunning win by the Rams!

A well-playing Case Keenum going against his former team or a guy that hasn't taken a snap in 2 years. Bridgewater on the verge of something good, but Keenum is rolling right now playing the best football of his career going against the Rams. Gimme Bridgewater please lol First series he'll get Aaron Donald in his face and that knee will buckle

We know exactly what Keenum's weaknesses are, and he's due for one of his trademark Keenum games. He's coming off a four-TD performance. The last time that happened, Keenum threw four picks the next week. Give me Keenum. He's a known player. I'm much more afraid of Bridgewater.

Sounds a lot like how the Seahawks game should have ended.

You forgot the part where Jeff Fisher's sinister 7-9 trademark still haunts the Rams even a year after being fired, and the person Goff thought was Cooper Kupp ends up being Andrew Sendejo. ?

RAMS OFFENSE VS. VIKINGS DEFENSE

The Vikings have eight former first-and second-round picks on defense alone, six of whom were drafted by this team. Each year they’ve gotten better in head coach Mike Zimmer’s imposing zone scheme, which is sprinkled with complexities. It’s not that the Vikings show unpredictable coverages. In fact, on running downs, it’s almost always single-high safety zone (aka Cover 3). On passing downs, it’s a two-high safety zone—either Cover 2 or Cover 4 (or, if the offensive formation is unbalanced, Cover 6, a combination of both). What’s challenging is how the Vikings get to these zones. There can be a lot of movement post-snap. Zimmer employs a variety of zone blitzes, with athletic D-linemen like Danielle Hunter, Brian Robison and Everson Griffen all capable of dropping into coverage. Back deep, safeties Harrison Smith and Andrew Sendejo are two of the best disguise artists in football. Tremendous speed allows them to exaggerate when disguising.

The Rams are at their most dangerous when head coach Sean McVay knows what coverage the defense will be in. No one is better at concocting route combinations that exploit a predicted look. Cover 3 and Cover 4 are two that McVay thrives against, since his downfield switch releases (aka receivers crossing paths vertically) naturally attack cornerbacks here.

But your O-line must give the QB time for these to work. A dynamic front four is part of the reason Minnesota can be diverse in its zone movement. Tackles Linval Joseph and Shamar Stephen get you into third-and-long, where rushers like Griffen, Hunter and Anthony Barr (a blitzer) take over. Los Angeles’s vastly improved O-line faces its biggest challenge to date.
