An apparent missed facemask penalty cost the Minnesota Vikings their chance at marching down the field and potentially tying the game in the final

No flag was thrown, however, and the Rams went on to win 30–20 to improve to 3–4 this season. Los Angeles sacked Darnold twice in the fourth quarter and three times throughout the game. After allowing touchdowns on the Vikings' first two possessions of the game, the Rams held Minnesota to just six points the rest of the game.

Minnesota quarterback Sam Darnold didn't blame the officials for a missed face mask call when he was sacked for a safety late in the fourth quarter of the Vikings' 30-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
