As the Rams prepared Thursday to face the Vikings amid fires in Southern California, the NFL announced that the Monday night playoff game has been moved to Arizona.
Coach Sean McVay said Thursday afternoon that his Rams were preparing for their NFC wild-card game against the Minnesota Vikings as if it would be played as scheduled at SoFi Stadium. He also said the team would be ready to adjust if the NFL decided to move the game to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., because of health concerns caused by wildfires in Southern California.
Or, as former star lineman Aaron Donald said at the time: “Give people something to smile about.” McVay reiterated that theme Thursday. “What sports represents is an opportunity for people to come together and provide a temporary sense of relief from some of the things that they’re going through,” he said. “And I am excited about the opportunity for our team to go compete, and people can be proud to have a team that represents a lot of things that are right about sports.
