Rams-Vikings Playoff Game Moved to Arizona

The Los Angeles Rams' Wild Card playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings was relocated to Glendale, Arizona, due to devastating wildfires in Southern California that have claimed at least 24 lives and forced 150,000 evacuations. Rachel Platten delivered an emotional rendition of the national anthem, breaking down in tears at the end, which resonated deeply with players and fans alike, including Rams stars Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp. Earlier, the Rams honored local firefighters with a tribute featuring t-shirts and a montage celebrating their efforts against the wildfires. The emotional atmosphere was heightened as Platten also performed her hit 'Fight Song' before the anthem, underscoring the resilience of those affected by the crisis. The situation in Los Angeles remains dire, with ongoing firefighting efforts amidst worsening conditions. The Rams advanced to the next playoff round, though their practice plans may be impacted by air quality concerns from the smoke.
