With yesterday's loss by the Cardinals, the Rams automatically moved into first place in the division, but a win today would put them in first place and assure them a spot in the National Conference Playoffs.

Dalvin Cook, one of the best running backs in the league, tested positive for Covid-19 a few days ago and, not having been vaccinated, will automatically miss this game against the Rams, with the hope of returning next week when they visit the Green Bay Packers.

The Minnesota Vikings want to stay alive on their way to the postseason when they face the in-form Los Angeles Rams, who are still looking for the divisional lead. We begin with VAVEL's coverage of the game.

The Vikings lead the all-time series against the now-former Los Angeles Rams with a record of 27 wins, 17 losses and two ties, and while they have won four of the last five, they lost in the most recent meeting:

Minnesota Vikings 31-38 Los Angeles Rams, 2018.

Los Angeles Rams 7-24 Minnesota Vikings, 2017

Saint Louis Rams 18-21 Minnesota Vikings, 2015

Minnesota Vikings 34-6 Saint Louis Rams, 2014

Minnesota Vikings 36-22 Saint Louis Rams, 2012

Although he has been highly criticized, especially because the Vikings have no winning record, Kirk Cousins is having outstanding numbers after completing 66.1 % of his completions for 3,656 yards, 29 touchdowns and only 6 interceptions.

The arrival of Matthew Stafford has benefited Cooper Kupp, who has become the best receiver in the NFL this season with 122 receptions for 1,625 yards (best in the league) and 14 touchdowns.

The Vikings are runner-up in the NFC North with a 7-7 record, although they no longer have a chance to be divisional champions, while the Rams have a 10-4 record and have won three in a row.

After losing surprisingly to the Lions, the Minnesota Vikings have jumped into the fight for a Playoff spot after beating the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Chicago Bears, where they have stopped making so many mistakes and the defense has improved and has forced turnovers that have been valuable to reflect on the scoreboard.

The Los Angeles Rams are more alive than ever to win the divisional title and, although they are coming from a short week where they barely defeated the Seattle Seahawks, they have recovered many players who had given Covid-19 and that can allow them to dream of a victory that will lead them to the postseason in the final stretch.

The Los Angeles Rams vs Minnesota Vikings match will be played at the U.S. Bank Stadium, in Minnesota, United States. The kick-off is scheduled at 1 pm ET.
