The Minnesota Vikings had a dominant regular season and earned a 14-3 record, but due to their losses to the Detroit Lions, Minnesota did not earn the #1 Seed in the NFC. The Los Angeles Rams won their division and current NFL rules dictate that a division winner hosts in the first round of the playoffs.
However, the Rams will not be hosting this game in L.A. Instead, both teams will travel to Arizona due to the horrific fires raging across California. Time will tell which team has the “home field” advantage.
