2560x1440.DIGI_Playoffs_WildCard

The Minnesota Vikings (14-3) will visit the Los Angeles Rams (10-7) in the Wild Card Round of the NFC Playoffs.

Minnesota finished as the No. 5 seed after falling at Detroit in the NFL's regular-season finale and will face the No. 4 seed and NFC West Champions.

The NFL announced the game will start at 7 p.m. (CT) Monday, Jan. 13, and be broadcast by ABC and ESPN.

The game will be a rematch of a 30-20 win by L.A. on the West Coast to open Week 8, which was where Minnesota played the week after losing to Detroit in Week 7. History will repeat, and the Vikings will try to reverse their outcome in the postseason.

The Vikings missed out on a chance to earn the NFC's No. 1 seed, which was secured by Detroit (15-2) along with the NFC North crown.

The Rams fell to the Seahawks on Sunday when they opted to rest QB Matthew Stafford since they owned the tiebreaker on Seattle. L.A. was nudged from No. 3 to No. 4 with the loss and with Tampa Bay (10-7) winning earlier Sunday and owning the tiebreaker over the Rams.

This will be the 32nd NFL postseason to include the Vikings, a team in its 64th season.
