Listed in reverse order, Read from the Bottom Up

Film: #Rams had a few gap breakdowns later in the game. Run D was fairly steady otherwise.

Film: #Vikings more gap scheme runs as game progressed, often with pullers to the perimeter.

#Vikings Film: Norv Turner doesn’t care about TE’s having to block DE’s in his scheme. Sometimes there’s a price to pay for that.

Film: #Vikings did not move the ball effectively with Shaun Hill in at QB.

Film: #Rams CB’s Jenkins, Joyner and Johnson are all aggressive at point of ball’s arrival.

Film: surprised #Vikings don’t put Peterson on perimeter more. He’s effective there. Perhaps they don’t believe OL is athletic enough.

#Vikings Film: when Peterson is 8 yds deep in backfield, it’s almost always a run.

#Rams Film: Barron is much better as an attacker than a reactor. True in run and pass game.

Film: #Vikings have a below avg interior OL. Fusco is mediocre, Berger and Harris are backups. Shows more in the run game than pass game.

Film: #Rams have a much weaker pass rush without Quinn. Less diverse, too.

#Rams Film: Laurinaitis stood out in run D. Quick to sniff out plays, Vikings interior OL could not get to him multiple times.

#Rams #Vikings Film: Also on Johnson INT Bridgewater underthrew it and too far inside

#Rams #Vikings Film: Trumaine Johnson INT on deep ball out of Cover 0 blitz. Beat Diggs at point of ball’s arrival.

#Rams Film: Aaron Donald did not register first half stats but he was noisy.

#Vikings Film: Bridgewater missed Wallace twice throwing on move. Both inaccurate balls had an impact.

#Rams Film: Mark Barron struggled a bit vs. run when cast as a stacked LB. Perhaps to be expected given lack of experience there.

Film: #Vikings featured straight downhill runs, often out of inside zone.

#Vikings Fillm: Peterson great blend of body control and explosiveness. Allows for subtly in his initial movement, which can manipulate LBs.

Film: #Rams continued to deploy a variety of pressure concepts. Some of them were somewhat slow developing.

Film: #Vikings a lot of runs out of overloaded TE surfaces, including Peterson 6-yd TD sweep.

Film: PA bootleg to Bridgewater’s right clearly part of #Vikings gameplan.

Film: #Vikings shutdown #Rams WR screen game.

#Vikings Film: Barr showed up positively a few times. A sturdy player with some explosive traits. Fits the scheme well.

Film: 3rd-10 on MIN 34 down 18-15 #Rams ran Gurley on power-lead out of 2 RB, 2 TE set....Windy day, but still, tells you everything you need to know about what they think of Foles.

#Rams Film: the vast majority of Austin’s end-arounds went to the right. Have to wonder why.

#Rams Film: late in game #Vikings did a better job vs. Austin end-arounds after getting beat by four or five of them.

Film: #Vikings CB’s Rhodes and Newman are very solid in run support. Zimmer’s CB’s in Cincy were good there, too.

#Vikings Film: Joseph also flashed as a pass rusher. A truly dominant game. He's been NFL's 3rd best DT in 2015, behind Donald and Short.

Film: Austin misdirection has become a major facet of #Rams offense. Hard to imagine what they’d be without it.

Film: #Vikings kept Gurley bottled up. A disciplined run D.

#Rams #Vikings Film: Austin burned Sendejo on deep post for would-be TD but Foles, moving off his spot, underthrew it, Austin dropped it.

Film: #Rams used a lot of base slot formations out of “12” with dual LOS TE’s. Sets up run game surfaces and unbalances coverages.

#Vikings Film: Sendejo flashed with up-tempo all-around play. One of the most improved safeties in NFL this year.

#Rams Film: Kendricks 20 yds great example of building offense. Came one play after Austin 22 yd end around......Rams this time faked the end around, that impacted LB Greenway and opened up the throwing window.

#Vikings Film: Greenway showed very good play recognition. Was sturdy between the tackles.

#Vikings Film: Joseph stood out in run D. One of best lateral DL defenders in NFL.

#Rams Film: Britt 55 yds PA deep post on post-crosser combo on 3rd-5. PA fake to RB and Austin on end around. Usually a 1st down play call.
