The Los Angeles Rams triumphed over the Minnesota Vikings 27-9 in a wild-card playoff game relocated to State Farm Stadium due to Southern California wildfires. Quarterback Matthew Stafford threw two touchdowns, while the Rams defense recorded nine sacks, tying an NFL playoff record. A notable moment occurred when rookie Jared Verse scored on a 57-yard fumble return. The atmosphere paid homage to California firefighters, as around 45,000 Rams fans attended. The Rams will face the Philadelphia Eagles in the next round of the playoffs.
