Los Angeles wildfires put NFL playoff game venue in limbo

Jan. 9 (UPI) -- Still smoldering wildfires canvasing Los Angeles might impact the NFL playoffs, with the Los Angeles Rams set to host the Minnesota Vikings. The NFL's backup plan is to move Monday's contest to Glendale, Ariz.

The Rams are scheduled to play the Vikings at 8 p.m. EST that day at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. As of Wednesday, more than 100,000 people were under evacuation orders and more than 1,000 structures had been destroyed by the wildfires in Los Angeles County.
