Ben Goessling, Andrew Krammer and Michael Rand preview Thursday night’s game against the Rams in Los Angeles, where the Vikings (5-1) will try to rebound from the first loss of the season. First they discuss an offense that can’t get out of its own way. Then they take a stroll down memory lane to discuss Vikings’ west coast trips on a short week. And they have differing views about just how well the Vikings might fare at Kevin O’Connell’s former stomping grounds.
