Jared Goff passed for career highs of 465 yards and five touchdowns, winning a scintillating duel with his Minnesota Viking counterpart and leading the unbeaten Los Angeles Rams to a 38-31 victory Thursday night.
Goff hit Cooper Kupp with two of his four TD throws during a 251-yard first half. Goff finished 26 of 33 with a perfect 158.3 passer rating for the Rams (4-0), who won their third home game in 12 days.
Kirk Cousins passed for 422 yards and three touchdowns, but the Vikings lost when Los Angeles rookie defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers strip-sacked Cousins near midfield with 1:18 to play.
Todd Gurley finished with 83 yards rushing and 73 yards receiving for the Rams. Dalvin Cook had 20 yards on 10 carries for the Vikings after missing last week’s game with a hamstring injury.
