The Los Angeles Rams will host the Minnesota Vikings in the Wild Card round at Sofi Stadium. The Rams will have a lot of players playing in their first playoff game.

McVay’s own coaching tree has become a popular spot for other NFL teams to harvest head coaches, partly because he pays forward the opportunities and preparation he was provided as an assistant.

Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell was Sean McVay's offensive coordinator for the Super Bowl champion Rams. They know each other well, and the playoff game is a rematch.

Lions or Vikings, Sean McVay doesn’t care. The coach doubled down on his stance that it makes no difference to him who the Rams play in the wild-card round next weekend – something he made very clear last week when discussing Los Angeles’ possible playoff opponents.

The level of preparation and detail is so important in the NFL, that it often trumps the natural talent of the players. In the playoffs, every play call, every timeout, every decision is scrutinized.

Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams have a special interest in Sunday night’s heavyweight showdown in Minneapolis between the Detroit Lions and the Minnesota Vikings. After all, the loser of that Lions-Vikings matchup will end up as the Rams’ opponent in an NFC wild-card round game at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood.

Of course, even if L.A. loses it’s been a remarkable season for a team who started 1-4 and then finished at 10-7 while winning the NFC West. Do fans and the team want more? Sure

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay has revealed if he plans to rest starters in the final regular season game.
