Rams hang screenshot of Lions' Campbell predicting win for Vikings
The Rams are using the viral postgame interaction between Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell and Vikings boss Kevin O'Connell as motivation ahead of Los Angeles' wild-card matchup versus Minnesota.
The Lions defeated the Vikings in a highly anticipated regular-season finale to clinch the NFC's 1-seed. Campbell then told O'Connell postgame, "I'll see you in two weeks." With last week's win, Detroit has a bye in the first round of the playoffs and could face the winner of Los Angeles-Minnesota in the divisional round.
Los Angeles hung a screenshot of the coaches interacting in its locker room.

The Rams play the Vikings on Monday. The NFL moved the game from SoFi Stadium to the Arizona Cardinals' State Farm Stadium due to the wildfires that have devastated areas around Los Angeles.
The Vikings would face the Lions in two weeks with a win over the Rams only if the Philadelphia Eagles also beat the Green Bay Packers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeat the Washington Commanders in the wild-card round. Both Philadelphia and Tampa Bay are favorites in their games.
Los Angeles and Detroit met in the wild-card round last year, with the Lions prevailing.
