Another blow for Los Angeles: the much anticipated NFL playoff game between the Rams and the Minnesota Vikings has been moved to Arizona.
L.A. — still fighting back against raging wildfires (and the threat of more to come) — is simply unprepared to host the event originally scheduled for Monday, January 13 at SoFi Stadium.
Instead, the teams will meet at State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals.
This marks the first time in NFL history that a playoff game has been forced to move to a neutral site.
