No team liked to push the ball downfield more than the Vikings during the regular season. Very few teams were more dangerous along the front four than the Rams. The Vikings’ offensive line had just come off its worst game of the year against the Detroit Lions.

Unfortunately for the Vikings, they were unable to put up a good fight in the Wild Card and got blown out by the Rams, 27-9. The Los Angeles defense smothered the Minnesota offense, with Sam Darnold even tying the NFL record for the most sacks taken (nine) in a playoff game.

Garrett Bradbury has been an up-and-down performer at center for each of his six seasons in the NFL. Guards Blake Brandel and Dalton Risner are ordinary and their weaknesses show up any time they play a team with a strong interior rush. Count the Lions and Rams as two teams that fit that description.
