1) Five prime time games -- with the opportunity to flex into the NFL maximum, six -- is a testament to how challenging the Rams schedule will be, and how highly regarded the defending NFC West champions are around the league.
2) The two home prime time games at the Coliseum are among the most anticipated on the entire NFL schedule. Hosting Minnesota and Kirk Cousins, who credits Sean McVay with his career, to open the Fox Thursday Night package is a tremendous honor in Week Four. Nice competitive perk that the Vikings have to travel two time zones on a short week.
