Derwin James and Alohi Gilman collided in the end zone covering those two crossing routes. That's how Tyler Conklin got so open. Touchdown Vikings.

Gruden: "Obviously dealing with the Shanahans was something that they did not want to do. I don't think that they could stomach having Kirk Cousins be successful for Kyle Shanahan… and I think there was still some hope that we could re-sign him." Kirk talk around 49:00 mark.

Sometimes football doesn't have to be that hard: If you have talents like Justin Jefferson, get them the ball. The #Vikings left LA as winners because they, at last, found Jefferson and Adam Thielen in must-have moments. My game story from SoFi Stadium: startribune.com/vikings-charge…

Irresponsible of Alexander Mattison to entice the Vikings into more checkdowns on second and long

Blake Lynch starts in place of Anthony Barr as the #Vikings open in base.

Bashaud Breeland is playing, which is big. Kris Boyd was awful last week. twitter.com/Vikings/status…

Cam Dantzler is being looked at in the injury tent. The Vikings can't afford many more injuries at cornerback with Patrick Peterson already out and Bashaud Breeland playing through a groin injury.

Patrick Jones is playing wild with those gap assignments

Despite the small inactives list for them this week, the Vikings will have a lengthy list of absences for the Sunday game against the Chargers.

At the time this article was published, Minnesota had five players on the COVID-19/Reserve list. Starters S Harrison Smith and C Garrett Bradbury, both of whom still reside on the list, are expected to miss Week 10.

Los Angeles is also dealing with some missing players. Here is the full inactives list for both teams heading into the Sunday afternoon matchup
