Matthew Stafford threw two first-half touchdown passes and the Los Angeles Rams' defense had nine sacks to tie the NFL playoff record in a 27-9 wild-card-round victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Monday in a game relocated to Glendale, Ariz.
The Rams' home game originally was scheduled for Inglewood, Calif., before the venue was changed for public safety purposes because of deadly wildfires in the Los Angeles area over the past week.
"With everything that has gone on with our community and everything these guys have gone through, I thought they represented the city the right way," Rams coach Sean McVay said.
