The Rams suffered a tough loss to the Vikings, 24-7 at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday. With the loss, Los Angeles falls to 7-3 on the season, but the team will look to bounce back this week as it heads home to the Coliseum to host the Saints.

1. A new personal best for Gurley
Running back Todd Gurley scored on a six-yard run during the Rams opening drive of the game. He now has 11 touchdowns (eight rushing, three receiving) this season marking a new personal best for the Georgia product. Gurley has already outscored both his first (10 touchdowns) and second seasons (six touchdowns) in the NFL and is on pace to score 18 touchdowns through 16 games this season.
2. Woods leads all receivers
For the second consecutive week, wide receiver Robert Woods led the team in receptions and targets. Against the Vikings, the former USC standout had eight catches for 81 yards. With his performance in Week 11, Woods reached a new single-season high in receiving yards with 703. It is the first time in his five-year career that he has reached the 700-yard mark.
3. Seven points scored
The seven points scored against Minnesota was the Rams lowest output this season. Sunday marks the first time Los Angeles has scored under 10 points all season and it is just the second time this year that the Rams have not scored at least 20 points.

However, when the Rams lose the turnover margin — as they did yesterday, 1-0 — the Rams are 0-3. The fumble given up by wide receiver Cooper Kupp was the team's first giveaway since Week 9.
5. 3-11 on third downs
