Rams to host Vikings in Wild Card round of playoffs

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (KABC) -- The Rams will host the Minnesota Vikings for a Wild Card game on Monday Night Football next week.

Los Angeles dropped to the NFC's No. 4 seed following their loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at SoFi Stadium. The Vikings slid to the No. 5 seed as a result of their loss to the Lions Sunday night.

The Rams and Vikings have met seven times in playoffs before, according to the Rams, but it hasn't happened since 2000.

Rams coach Sean McVay says the NFC champs are ready to take on the Vikings.

"It's going to be a great challenge, but it's NFL playoff football so we're excited about it and we're diving into that preparation as we speak," he told Eyewitness News.

Rams officials say fans can expect a big show for the home game, but there will also be fun activations leading up to the game.

The postseason matchup will air Monday, Jan. 13 at 5 p.m. PST on ABC. Tickets can be purchased online.

Meanwhile, for the second time in seven years, both the Rams and the Chargers are in the NFL playoffs in the same season.
