The Los Angeles Chargers will host the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday Night Football in NFL Week 8. Both teams can use a victory to get back on a winning track.

Los Angeles looked like it might be a top contender for the AFC West title after winning its first three games, but the Chargers have lost three of the past four games to fall to 4-3.

L.A. is now one game behind the Broncos in the division and is tied with the Chiefs, who have already rebounded from a slow start.

At 3-3, Minnesota is in last place in the NFC North. The Vikings are the only team in the division without a record over .500. They have lost two of the past three games and are still without injured starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy.

The Chargers are averaging 21.6 points per game, and the Vikings are averaging 24.2.
