How to watch Vikings-Rams live for free in TNF: Time, streaming

NFL Week 8 kicks off with an all-NFC matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and the no-longer-undefeated Minnesota Vikings.

Last week, the Vikings, who opened the season 5-0, lost their first game of the season to divisional rivals and the only team ahead of them in NFC North standings, the Detroit Lions. The Rams, who are 2-4, beat the Raiders 20-15 last week to notch their second win of the season.

Both teams will likely get a bump from injured players returning tonight; Rams receiver Cooper Kupp could return for the first time since suffering an ankle injury in Week 2, while Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson may make his season debut following a torn ACL and MCL in December 2023.
