Vikings seek wild card win vs. Rams with Kevin O’Connell's strategy, targeting Matthew Stafford pressure

The Minnesota Vikings are set for a Wild Card Weekend matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, aiming to craft a better game plan under Kevin O’Connell's guidance. Despite a loss to the Detroit Lions, the Vikings maintain a mostly healthy roster, crucial for their must-win situation. Key to their success will be the defense's ability to effectively pressure Matthew Stafford, as they failed to do in a previous encounter. Minnesota is favored to win, bolstered by their strong regular season performance and the goal of avenging past losses.
