RAMS LOOK TO REGAIN FORM IN MONDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN AGAINST VIKINGS
The NFL's Wild Card Weekend came to an end on Sunday night with an exciting matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and the Minnesota Vikings at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
The game was originally scheduled for SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, but due to devastating wildfires in California, it had to be relocated. Despite being the underdog, Quarterback Matthew Stafford led his team with a 10-7 record into the matchup, aiming for their first playoff victory since Super Bowl 56.
The Minnesota Vikings, with a strong 14-3 record and led by quarterback Sam Darnold, were seeking to make a deep playoff run. However, after narrowly missing out on clinching the NFC North crown due to a loss to the Detroit Lions in the regular-season finale, their playoffs hopes are now on the line.
The game was simulcasted on ABC and ESPN, featuring commentary from Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Lisa Salters, and Laura Rutledge. Additionally, an alternate 'ManningCast' with Peyton and Eli Manning would be available on ESPN2.
In a surprising twist, this matchup brings together two strong teams with explosive offenses, as the Rams had previously beaten the Vikings 30-20 in September. The change of venue adds to the intrigue, putting pressure on both teams to perform in a different environment.
The game is live and can be streamed via Fubo, ESPN+, ABC, and ESPN2 (for the ManningCast).
