Vikings vs. Rams highlights: LA swarms Sam Darnold in 27-9 win

On By Littum

The game was originally scheduled to start at SoFi Stadium, but it was moved to Glendale, Arizona, amid the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.

Even though they were supposed to host the game in LA, the Rams looked right at home. They dominated the Vikings from the start. Matthew Stafford and the offense scored on the first drive, while the defense sacked Minnesota quarterback Sam Darnold nine times.

With the 27-9 victory, the Rams advance to the divisional round, where they will face the Eagles in Philadelphia.

Here are the highlights from Monday night, with live analysis from FOX Sports’ Carmen Vitali.
