Running back Cam Akers (297 rushing yards, 52 receiving yards, three total TDs) is listed as questionable due to an unspecified illness, while backup nose tackle Taki Taimani, who’s been out since Oct. 24, is questionable to return from the ankle injury that landed him on IR the last time these teams met.

Additionally, the Rams boast a high-powered offense led by star quarterback Jared Goff and running back Todd Gurley, making them a formidable opponent for any team.

On the other hand, the Vikings are coming off a hard-fought victory against the Chicago Bears in the Wild Card round and are looking to carry that momentum into their matchup against the Rams. Despite finishing the regular season with a 10-6 record, the Vikings have shown they are capable of competing with some of the best teams in the league.
