The NFL announced Thursday night that it has relocated Monday’s wild-card playoff game between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams to Arizona. The change was made to prioritize public safety as wildfires continue to impact Southern California.
The game was originally scheduled to take place at SoFi Stadium at 8 p.m. on Monday. It will now be played at State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals, on Monday at the same time.
