Wildfires force Rams, Vikings to head to Arizona for their intriguing wild-card playoff matchup
https://thescore.com/nfl/news/3185226
Playoff rivals from a bygone era will be in adjustment mode when the Los Angeles Rams take on the Minnesota Vikings in the final game of the wild-card round on Monday night at Glendale, Ariz.
The NFL moved the scheduled Rams home game to the Arizona Cardinals stadium "in the interest of public safety," with multiple wildfires burning in the Los Angeles area.
A neutral-site game now, the No. 4 seed Rams (10-7) had earned home-field advantage over the Vikings (14-3) by winning the NFC West. No. 5 seed Minnesota was runner-up to the Detroit Lions in the NFC North.
The Vikings and Rams were regular playoff foes in the 1970s. Minnesota dominated the rivalry then but lost all four of its Super Bowl appearances through the 1976 season and hasn't been back since.
Minnesota holds a 5-2 advantage in playoff matchups between the franchises and is in search of its first playoff victory since the 2019 wild-card round.
The Vikings flourished this season behind the play of Pro Bowl quarterback Sam Darnold, who was fifth in the NFL in both passing yards (4,319) and touchdowns (35). He threw 12 interceptions and was sacked 48 times, tied for fourth most.
Darnold will be out to avenge a 30-20 defeat at Los Angeles on Oct. 24. That came just four days after a 31-29 loss to the Lions.
Minnesota recovered to win nine consecutive games before their 31-9 defeat in Week 18 at Detroit.
