The Los Angeles Rams are gearing up for their NFC Wild Card game against the Minnesota Vikings after facing significant challenges posed by wildfires in Southern California. The team's practice was relocated to the Arizona Cardinals' facility due to safety concerns. Defensive tackle Kobie Turner expressed relief at the shift in atmosphere, while coach Sean McVay emphasized the importance of preparation during these unprecedented circumstances.

Veteran receiver Cooper Kupp noted that practicing in unfamiliar territory has its challenges, yet there is a sense of camaraderie among teammates. The Rams traveled to Arizona with a large contingent, facilitated by Cardinals owner Michael Bidwell's assistance. Despite facing injuries and an initial 1-4 record this season, the Rams rallied to finish with a 10-7 record and claim the NFC West title.
