The dynamic 14-3 Minnesota Vikings’ season came to an end on Monday night, not with a bang but a whimper, as they were blown out 27-9 by the Los Angeles Rams. In an instant, one of the best campaigns in Vikings history was snuffed out in the Wild Card round in a rather uncompetitive fashion.

They lost Monday night 27-9 to the Los Angeles Rams and quarterback Sam Darnold was nowhere to be found. It was the second straight game Darnold produced a dud, and both were the most important games of his career.
