For the second time this season, the Minnesota Vikings will take on the Los Angeles Rams. This time, however, the loser of the matchup will see its season come to a close as this contest has the Vikings and Rams facing off in the opening round of the playoffs.
Los Angeles was originally scheduled to host Minnesota inside SoFi Stadium, but wildfires in Los Angeles forced the NFL to relocate the game to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Luckily, Monday's NFC playoff showdown is still set to kick off at its originally scheduled time.
The Rams got the best of the Vikings when the two teams met back in Week 8. Will Monday's game turn out differently, or is Minnesota heading into its final contest of the 2024 campaign?
