The best and worst from the Vikings' Week 8 loss to the Rams

The NFL season sometimes shows us what we want to see from the players; In other cases, we may see something bad even though it isn't there. There needs to be a way for fans and media to check and balance things to avoid favoritism or bias in a negative light.

Thanks to PFF, we always have extra eyes examining the football game.

The team's loss to the Lions caused the team to realize that they are, in fact, human. They showed resilience and the drive to fight back as they played defense and took the lead late in the fourth quarter. This time, more than most this year, the PFF grades will be very interesting.

Here are the best and worst PFF grades for the Vikings' loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
