Inglewood, C.A. is buzzing as the Los Angeles Rams prepare to host the Minnesota Vikings for a highly anticipated game on Thursday Night Football, kicking off Week 8 of the NFL season. This matchup brings an added layer of excitement, as it marks a homecoming for Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell, who previously served as the Rams’ offensive coordinator during their Super Bowl-winning season.
Both teams come into the game with something to prove. The Vikings are looking to bounce back after suffering their first loss of the season last week, falling to the Detroit Lions in a tight contest that ended 31-29. So far this season, Minnesota has shown strength against NFC rivals, holding a 3-1 record and boasting an impressive 2-0 mark on the road.
On the other hand, the Rams are eager to build on their recent 20-15 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, which snapped a two-game losing streak. While they have struggled against conference opponents with a 1-4 record, Los Angeles has performed decently at home with a 2-1 record at their SoFi Stadium.
The excitement is set to unfold at 8:15 p.m. ET on Thursday, October 24. Fans eager to catch the game can stream it exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in the U.S., with coverage from seasoned announcers including Al Michaels, Kirk Herbstreit, and sideline reporter Kaylee Hartung.
For Canadian viewers, the game can be streamed live on DAZN, and all fans can tune in via SiriusXM for radio coverage, with specific channels for Rams and Vikings fans. As the teams take the field, all eyes will be on which squad can claim victory in this crucial matchup. Will O’Connell lead his Vikings to redemption, or will the Rams defend their home turf? The stage is set for an electrifying night of football.
