For the second time in as many years, the Vikings flew to Los Angeles for a Thursday night game after a difficult home loss to an NFC contender. Last year, they lost to the Rams at SoFi Stadium after falling to the Detroit Lions at home. This year, after losing to the Eagles on Sunday, they fell to the Chargers 37-10 in the same stadium on Thursday. The Chargers held the ball for 39 minutes, gained 419 yards, converted nine of its 13 third downs and outgained the Vikings 207-34 on the ground.
