When the Los Angeles Rams decided to t ake their foot off the proverbial gas in Week 18 to rest their starters ahead of the playoffs, it left fans with one major takeaway: LA must have been okay with playing against the Minnesota Vikings or the Detroit Lions in the Wildcard Round.

The Rams will host the Minnesota Vikings for a Wild Card game on Monday Night Football next week. Last week, the Dallas Cowboys parted ways with running back Ezekiel Elliott. The former Ohio State star requested his release so he could pursue an opportunity with a playoff contender as his years in the league are growing shorter.
