We’re not too far away from this week’s Thursday Night Football contest between the Minnesota Vikings and the Los Angeles Rams. Even with the condensed schedule Cheap Everson Griffen Jersey , we still had some time to exchange some questions with our friends from Turf Show Times, SB Nation’s home for everything concerning the Rams.Joe McAtee was kind enough to answer my questions for this week. You can see the questions I sent to him and his answers below. When TST posts the answers to the questions that Joe sent me, I will be sure to link to them on the front page, as well as do an update here.1) The big story for this one for the Rams, at least from my perspective, is that they might be without both of their starting cornerbacks after Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib were both hurt against the Chargers. What’s their status looking like for Thursday Cheap Kyle Rudolph Jersey , and who replaces them if one or both can’t go?2) The Rams have been lighting up the scoreboard so far this season. We know about Todd Gurley, but who has been the go-to guy for Jared Goff thus far in the passing game?3) If you could steal one player from the Vikings’ roster and bring him to Los Angeles, who would you pick and why?4) Give us one player on each side of the ball that Vikings’ fans might not necessarily know about that you feel will make a big difference in the outcome of Thursday’s contest?5) How do you see Thursday night’s game playing out? Is there any reason to think that the Rams don’t move to 4-0 in this one?Once again, thanks to Joe for taking the time to sit down and answer our questions about Thursday’s game. We’ll have more coverage of this one as we get closer to kickoff.Minnesota Vikings Power Rankings Roundup: Week 2 Last week, the Minnesota Vikings found themselves at the top of quite a few of the sets of Power Rankings that we aggregate each week. That was before they went into Lambeau Field and tied with the Green Bay Packers. How would the tie be viewed by the pundits across the internet as far as their rankings of the Vikings going into Week 3?Well, we’re here with this week’s spin around the interwebs for our Power Rankings Roundup. Here we go!Associated Press: #3 (Last week: #3)No commentary on the Associated Press poll.SB Nation: #4 (Last week: #1)No Vikings-centric commentary from SB Nation this week.MMQB Andrew Sendejo Jersey , Sports Illustrated: #4 (Last week: #4)No Vikings-centric commentary from MMQB this week.Walter Cherepinsky, Walter Football: #6 (Last week: #9)Whatevs.Bleacher Report: #2 (Last week: #1)Mike Florio, Pro Football Talk: #7 (Last week: #8)Pete Prisco, CBS Sports: #5 (Last week: #5)ESPN: #6 (Last week: #3)Elliot Harrison, NFL.com: #3 (Last week: #3)Nate Davis, USA Today: #5 (Last week: #4)Vinnie Iyer Cheap Harrison Smith Jersey , Sporting News: #4 (Last week: #1)Frank Schwab, Yahoo! Sports: #2 (Last week: #1)So, the Vikings aren’t considered the top team in the league this week by any of our twelve ranking bodies after finding themselves in the top spot in one-third of those rankings last week. However, their lowest ranking has also increased. Last week, the purple were ranked as low as #9 in the National Football League by these various sources, but this week nobody has them any lower than #7.Over the first few weeks Cheap Linval Joseph Jersey , the Vikings’ consensus rankings really haven’t changed all that much. I’m going to skip the graphical representation this week (because it looks a little wonky and I’m going to effort to get it fixed), but the averages for each week for Minnesota’s rankings have looked like this:Prior to Week 1: Average ranking of 4.5Prior to Week 2: Average ranking of 3.5833 (repeating, of course)Prior to Week 3: Average ranking of 4.25Hopefully we’ll see these numbers go up again after this week’s game against the Buffalo Bills, and I can get our graph to stop looking like hot garbage and include it with next week’s Power Rankings Roundup.
