In response to the wildfires that are ongoing around the Los Angeles area, Monday's playoff matchup against the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams is being moved to Arizona, the league announced in a statement on Thursday evening.

The NFL has moved the Rams’ wild-card playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings to Arizona after days of devastating wildfires in the Los Angeles area.

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell did not rule out the possibility of Daniel Jones serving as the primary backup to quarterback Sam Darnold

First-round matchup was originally set for Inglewood on Monday night but now will be played in the Glendale, Arizona, home of the Cardinals. With wildfires continuing to burn in Los Angeles, the NFL has moved Monday night’s NFC playoff game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Minnesota Vikings to Arizona.

The NFL has moved Monday's playoff game between the Vikings and Rams to Arizona, saying the decision was made in the interest of public safety as wildfires continue to ravage Southern California.

A couple of days after the Vikings signed quarterback Daniel Jones to the active roster, they left the door open for him potentially moving up on the depth chart. Notably, head coach Kevin O’Connell did not commit to quarterback Nick Mullens as the backup on Thursday afternoon at TCO Performance Center when the topic came up during his weekly press conference.

The Minnesota Vikings are considering a significant shakeup to their quarterback depth chart, one that would put newcomer Daniel Jones in position to play if starter Sam Darnold is injured or ineffective in the playoffs.

Daniel Jones could be in line to step in for Sam Darnold if the Vikings quarterback gets injured or has another rough performance when the postseason begins this weekend. Minnesota head coach Kevin O’Connell left the door open for the former Giants quarterback to potentially jump to the No.
