The Minnesota Vikings go on the road for Thursday Night Football against the Los Angeles Chargers. Both teams are coming off disappointing performances on Sunday. The Chargers started off 3-0 with impressive wins over the Kansas City Chiefs and the Denver Broncos. However, they’ve lost three of the last four, with the only win during the skid a 2-point win over the lowly Miami Dolphins. The Vikings have alternated wins this year and are looking to continue that trend with a win in tonight’s game. If they do, it will be the Vikings first Thursday Night win since they defeated the New England Patriots in Week 12 of 2022.
Series Records: Vikings 8 wins, 7 losses
Road Record: 3-3
Last Matchup: Chargers 28 – Vikings 24
It’s a short week, on the road for Thursday Night Football. Last year it was the Darrisaw injury, followed by the missed face mask to end a terrible game. There’s no reason to expect the Vikings to bounce back from a disappointing loss in a winnable game. However, it’s what this team seems to do. They look like a bottom-feeder team one week, followed by a playoff-level performance the next. The Chargers are banged up and have a talented list on IR. The Vikings will likely stick with Carson Wentz another game. He’s capable of leading this offense and if he cleans up a few mistakes, he can lead them to the end zone. I’m putting my faith in KOC to get the team ready and rally them on the short week.
