Divisional round matchups will be set after Monday night
Wild Card Weekend will conclude Monday night with an NFC matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams. Due to the wildfires in California, the game has been moved from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA to State Farm Stadium, the home of the Arizona Cardinals.
The Rams won the NFC West for the first time since 2021 and made playoffs for the sixth time in eight seasons under head coach Sean McVay, who previously led Los Angeles to a SB LVI victory (2021 season) and a SB LIII appearance (2018 season).
The Vikings are led by a defense that was tied for first in takeaways (33), tied for fourth in sacks (49) and was fifth in scoring defense (19.5 points per game allowed) in 2024. On offense, quarterback Sam Darnold has had the best season of his seven-year NFL career.
