The Los Angeles Rams will play a surprise home game on Monday night after field conditions in Mexico City forced the NFL to relocate their Week 11 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, and they are using the opportunity to rally fans as devastating wildfires continue to rage across the state of California.
On Friday, the Rams took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times that featured the message “Monday is for you.”

There have been wildfires burning in Northern and Southern California, with the Woolsey Fire just outside of L.A. having burned nearly 100,000 acres as of Friday. Some Rams players have had to evacuate their homes because of the fires, so the impacts have been felt by the team. Monday night’s game, while unexpected, should be an emotional one at the Coliseum.
