Different venue. Same goal. Win and advance. | Wild Card Preview

As we’re all well aware, the game has changed.

Thursday, the NFL announced that the Wild Card contest between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams has been relocated to Glendale, AZ.

According to ESPN Research, it’s only the second time in NFL history that a (non-Super Bowl) postseason game hasn’t been played at a team’s home stadium – the 1936 NFL Championship Game between Green Bay and Boston was the other.

More importantly, the circumstances in our region have been altered tragically.

As they’ve done consistently and historically in the face of community crisis, the Los Angeles Rams and Kroenke Family will be at the forefront of recovery efforts. Friday, they announced a $1 million donation to the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Foundation, benefitting both County and City Fire Departments, and American Red Cross.

On Monday night in Arizona, Rams players, coaches and staff will wear custom LAFD hats and shirts. Game-worn jerseys and select game-used footballs will be auctioned off with proceeds going to the support American Red Cross.
