The Los Angeles Rams dominated the Minnesota Vikings 27-9 on Monday to close out the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs. The game was played at a neutral site in Glendale, Arizona, because of the wildfires in the Los Angeles region.

The Rams’ pass rush was the story of the night, as it piled up nine sacks, tying an NFL playoff record. The game was more or less over by halftime, as Los Angeles took a 24-3 lead into the break.

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 19 of 27 passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns, earning his first postseason victory since Super Bowl 56.

Minnesota's Sam Darnold struggled mightily in the face of the Los Angeles pass rush. He completed 25 of 40 passes for 245 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. Darnold also fumbled on one of the nine sacks, and the Rams recovered for a touchdown.
