The Vikings had a chance at the top of the NFC and a first-round bye, but were blown out by the Lions in the final game of the season. The loss dropped the Vikings to 14-3 and the no. 5 of the conference as the best Wild Card team. They will begin the playoffs on the road against the No. 1 Rams. 4, who finished the season 10-7, which was good enough to win the NFC West. Tonight’s winner will head to Philadelphia next weekend to face the Eagles.
The devastating wildfires in Southern California have forced the NFL to move the game from the Rams’ home stadium in Inglewood to Glendale, Arizona. The game will now be played at State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals.
