Because the Eagles are the second seed in the conference, the game will take place in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in the NFC, though, one of the Wild Card games is being moved to a neutral site. The Los Angeles Rams will play host to the Minnesota Vikings at State Farm Field, the home of the Arizona Cardinals. This change of venue is due to the disastrous LA wildfires that have destroyed homes and neighborhoods, and has claimed the lives of many people.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Vikings?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Vikings<\/a>&#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Rams?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Rams<\/a> has been moved to Arizona. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WN9PraKjxn\">pic.twitter.com\/WN9PraKjxn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RapSheet\/status\/1877514764579971323?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 10, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the deadly disaster has been used by many people as a political stunt to further their agendas.

Of course, this is nothing new as he has been a vocal supporter of conservative Republican candidates for decades.<\/p>\n<p>The Governor of California is Democrat Gavin Newsome, an outspoken critic of Trump and the Republican party.
