The Rams earned a home playoff game by winning the NFC West in a tiebreaker against Seattle. The Vikings, who ended the regular season with the second-best record in the NFC and third-best record in the NFL, will play on the road after losing a game last Sunday to Detroit that served as a de facto NFC North title game.

Deadly wildfires in the Los Angeles area are inflicting devastating damage on the region. Here are updates on how the sports world has been impacted.

"Adding Daniel Jones just gives [the Vikings] more insurance behind Sam Darnold," Benjamin said. "You never should feel bad about adding quarterback insurance. Daniel Jones is a guy that, at 27, he's got over 70 career starts, if you throw in a couple of playoff games."

Minnesota missed the playoffs last season, and following the 2022 season, it was Jones that ended their run on Wild Card Weekend. His 301 yards and two touchdowns earned him a sizable payday and put the nail in the coffin for defensive coordinator Ed Donatell.

The Minnesota Vikings are considering a significant shake-up to their quarterback depth chart, one that would put newcomer Daniel Jones in position to play if starter Sam Darnold is injured or ineffective in the playoffs.
