Everything seemed pretty normal for the Los Angeles Rams during Saturday's practice at their temporary home on a beautiful afternoon in suburban Phoenix. The music was blaring, coaches shouting, footballs flying and even some palm trees swaying in the background to give it a Southern California vibe.

Fires made it impossible for the Rams to prepare for their wild-card playoff game against the Vikings in the Southland, but practicing in Arizona is odd.

The league pivoted to its contingency plan after the deadly fires burned tens of thousands of acres around Los Angeles.
