2018 NFL Week 4 Thursday Night Football open thread: Rams vs. Vikings

Greetings, Raider Nation! Welcome to Week 4 of the NFL season. Tonight’s game is between two of the preseason favorites in the NFC, the Rams and Vikings. The Rams have lived up to the hype and then some, while the Vikings just lost to the Bills.

The Rams have beaten every team they’ve played so far, including the Raiders, by double digits. They are firing on all cylinders on offense and their defense is stout, despite just losing CB Aqib Talib for the year with injury.

The Vikings started strong, but then tied the Packers and literally, I am not making this up, lost to the Bills. They stand at 1-1-1 and a win over the Rams would go a long way toward staking their claim to be a serious playoff contender.

Tonight’s game can be seen on FOX and the NFL Network at 5:20 PM Pacific time.
