And like that, Sam Darnold turned back into Sam Darnold.

I am here thinking the Vikings need a new QB next year and how in the heck did this team win all those games. 

Darnold is definitely playing like the Darnold of old.

It will be interesting to see what they do. With JJ. McCarthy just being drafted and injured early in the season. He was a skeptical draft in my opinion as high of a pick Minnesota used to get him. 

The Vikings turn it over on downs and at the end of the first half the Rams pickup another touchdown and it looks 5 of the 6 games are going to be blow outs. The Rams now led the Vikings 24-3 with :15 seconds left in the first half.

Whatever the Vikes do, Darnold is a backup QB at best.

24-3 Rams at the half. The Vikings will need to take the ball to start the 2nd half and go down and get a touchdown I think to have any shot in this one.

Touchdown for the Vikings finally and they are going for a two-point conversion to make it a 2-score game. The two-point conversion fails so now it 27-9 as the Ram added a FG in the 3rd quarter.

Still 27-9 Rams with 6 minutes left to play.

Sam Darnold coming into the Vikings building today:

Colin Cowherd called last night a coaching mismatch with McVay over O'connell.

I am fine with that, but it is on Darnold when four of the six sacks he takes in the first half he held on to the ball more than 4.4 seconds, or he fumbles the ball and the Rams take it back for six, or he can't see Addison running uncovered right in front of him. Darnold was bad. Really bad. Dude was rifling screen passes that were hitting the feet of RBs. Heck, even on their TD drive, the two catches which led to a score were woefully behind his targets, they just made hellacious plays. He got in his own head after the GB game because suddenly it was real. They played for a division title and he was brutal. They play a divisional playoff game and he's even more brutal. I feel bad for the guy as he probably cost himself $15M - $20M / year (?) over these last eight days.

I agree with you, bug.  Darnold, ugh, so bad.  Yet, there will be a market for him, just not what it could have been.
