On the play where Keenum ducked and was hit in the head, then avoided another Ram and heaved the ball to Theilen, the question I have, should there have been a penalty against the Rams for hitting Keenum in the head?

I thought you cannot hit the QB in the head.

I want to highlight a couple points.

Quote:1. The offensive line dominated
The Los Angeles Rams
have perhaps the best defensive line on the Vikings 2017 schedule. The
Vikings offensive line saved its best game for its best competition. The
Minnesota Moving Company was downright dominant against a ferocious
Rams defense, allowing no sacks and helping the running backs average
4.9 yards per carry. The Vikings controlled the clock with a 37:22-22:38
time of possession advantage and they drove the ball consistently, with
touchdown drives of 71 and 93 yards in the second half and a pair of
11-play and a pair of 12-play series during the game. Quarterback Case Keenum
has now had six games in which he’s not been sacked, the Vikings have
allowed one sack in the last six games and the Vikings have surrendered
only 10 sacks in the first 10 games of the season.

Quote:2. Defense took a punch, then delivered the pain
The
Rams offense threw a haymaker on the opening drive, but the Vikings
defense landed all the punches after that. Jared Goff and Co. drove 75
yards in nine plays to score a touchdown and take an early 7-0 lead.
From that point forward, the Rams offense couldn’t muster much of
anything. The Rams ensuing possessions ended like this: punt, punt,
fumble, end of half, punt, punt, punt, punt, downs. The only time Los
Angeles had anything going was in the second quarter on a nine-play,
46-yard series that had the visitors in position to reclaim the lead. On
3rd and 4 from the Minnesota 11, Goff found rookie receiver Cooper Kupp
in the middle of the field. Kupp secured the reception and turned to
the goal line, which is where Vikings safety Anthony Harris
met him, stripped the football away from him and recovered the fumble.
Other than the scoring drive and the lost fumble drive, the Rams didn’t
get past the Minnesota 49 until the final series of the game. Seven of
the Rams 10 drives yielded one or zero 1st downs and the Rams averaged
only 4.5 yards per play.

Terrible news....

Case Keenum
Anthony Harris
Marcus Sherels
Adam Theilen

Who else?  This team is littered with guys who were never drafted.

We all love Teddy, but it's time to stop...this is Case Keenum's teamI shouldn't have to start this blog out with this caveat, but words no matter how flattering get misconstrued as negative, so let's get it out of the way. 
I love Teddy Bridgewater. He's great, he really is. Great in the community, great in the locker room, great with the other quarterbacks, he's great all around and he's probably, maybe the future quarterback of this team.
There, I said it. Now let me say this. Teddy might be the future quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, but that future will not be in the 2017 season. The argument is done, done for the season, this is Case Keenum's team.
It's true, he was brought here to be a backup quarterback. That said, what's he's done on the field this year is pinning Keenum as nothing short of an MVP candidate, let alone the starting quarterback of this team. I'm not kidding either.
Today at U.S. Bank Stadium, Keenum led the Vikings to a win over a really good defense. Heading into the day, the Rams had allowed an average of 18.0 points per game to their opponents on the year. Today, Keenum and the Vikings scored 24 points and it should have been 30 points. Case finished the day completing 71% of his passes, gaining 280 yards and throwing 1 touchdown leading to a 100.8 passer rating on the day and that's not the anomaly. 
Keenum has four total games with a passer rating above 100 this season. That's two more 100+ games than Ben Roethlisberger, as many 100+ games as Kirk Cousins, Tom Brady and Russel Wilson to date!
