I think the Viking coaches thought triple and quadruple WR actions would get them open, rather than slants, outs, short stuff. The Rams D was so aggressive with blitzes and pass coverage they may have been susceptible to draw plays, even a trick play. There were counters the Vikings could've employed.
It felt like they gave up. They were running, using full play clock down at least two scores in the 4th quarter
