Rams loss gives Vikings full 2-game lead in wild card chase

The Rams got absolutely dominated on Monday Night Football, falling to the Ravens 45-6.

That drops the Rams to 6-5 on the season, now a full game back a playoff spot. The Vikings and Packers are both 8-3.

Per FiveThirtyEight, the loss drops the Rams’ chances to make the playoffs to just 14 percent.

Here’s what the remaining schedules look like for the Rams and Vikings:

Rams Vikings
@Cardinals @Seahawks
vs. Seahawks vs. Lions
@Cowboys @Chargers
@49ers vs. Packers
vs. Cardinals vs. Bears

It’s not a super easy schedule for either team, but it’s hard to imagine the Rams being able to leapfrog the Vikings in the standings, especally after last night’s game.

If the season ended today, the Vikings would be the sixth seed in the NFC playoffs.
