Sean McVay said the Los Angeles Rams have a “tremendous challenge” on Thursday night with the Minnesota Vikings coming to town, a very difficult matchup with a team that’s currently 5-1. The Rams will be coming off a win over the Las Vegas Raiders, getting them closer to .500 at 2-4, but they’re still underdogs against the Vikings.

The Vikings face the Rams in Week 8 of the NFL season with kickoff set for 8 p.m. ET at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. Here’s an early look at the "Thursday Night Football" Vikings vs.Rams matchup.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp, who missed the last three games with an ankle injury, is expected to return for the team’s Week 8 meeting with the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday, coach Sean McVay said after the Rams’ 20-15 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
