Rams president Kevin Demoff was optimistic early Thursday that the game could be held at SoFi Stadium, but it became clear there were many reasons to move the game.

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.

The Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams will play their NFC wild card matchup in Glendale, Ariz., instead of Inglewood, Calif., due to the Los Angeles wildfires, the NFL announced.
