In one of the most anticipated games of the Wild Card round in the playoffs, the Los Angeles Rams will host the Minnesota Vikings. For many experts, the winner could be the biggest threat to the Detroit Lions on their road to the Super Bowl.
However, there is a lot of uncertainty about what will happen with that matchup due to the devastating fires in California that have caused an emergency situation in Los Angeles.
After a detailed analysis with local authorities, the NFL has finally confirmed whether the game will be officially postponed and if there will be any change of venue.

The NFL confirmed that the game between the Rams and Vikings will not be postponed and will be played next Monday at 8 PM (ET). However, SoFi Stadium in Inglewood won’t be the venue as a contingency plan is already in place.
