The Minnesota Vikings have 14 games in the books in 2021, with a 7-7 record heading into Week 16.

Next, the Vikings travel home for a meeting with Los Angeles Rams, a matchup with heavy playoff implications for Minnesota. Unless the Vikings plan on winning at Lambeau Field, Mike Zimmer’s team needs a win over the Rams to reach the postseason.
