儘管野火

在過去的一周中，洛杉磯公羊不可能專注於足球，而不是影響洛杉磯地區很大一部分的致命野火。

The ability of professional athletes on the highest level to focus on the task at hand, and block out whatever else is going on in their world, can be remarkable.

職業運動員在最高水平上專注於手頭任務的能力，並阻止世界上發生的一切，這是非常了不起的。

Over the past week, there was a deadly wildfire affecting a huge part of the Los Angeles area, and the Los Angeles Rams could not have been more focused on football.

在過去的一周中，有一場致命的野火影響了洛杉磯地區的很大一部分，而洛杉磯公羊隊不可能更專注於足球。

You could see smoke from the Rams' practice facility at times, and there were reports of some players being evacuated from their homes. Of course, there was concern about family and friends.

您可能有時會從公羊隊的練習設施中看到煙霧，有報導說有些玩家被撤離他們的家。當然，人們對家人和朋友感到擔憂。

And the Rams had to move the game from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood to a neutral site in Arizona.

公羊不得不將比賽從英格伍德的Sofi體育場轉移到亞利桑那州的中立地點。

But when Monday night’s game kicked off, the Rams played their best game of the entire season in a 27-9 victory against the Vikings in the NFC wild-card round.

但是，當週一晚上的比賽開始時，公羊隊以27-9擊敗NFC通用卡片回合的維京人隊以27-9的勝利打出了他們整個賽季中最好的比賽。

The Vikings, who were 14-3 during the regular season, never had a chance. The Rams dominated from the start, burying the Vikings in a win.

維京人在常規賽中14-3，從來沒有機會。公羊隊從一開始就佔據了主導地位，將維京人埋葬在勝利中。

The Rams advance to the divisional round, and will face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

公羊隊前進了分區，並將在周日面對費城老鷹隊。

The Rams' win featured a total meltdown by Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold, whose good season unraveled in Week 18 and on Monday night, but the Rams' defense had plenty to do with his mistakes.

公羊隊的勝利是維京人四分衛山姆·達諾德（Sam Darnold）的徹底崩潰，他的好賽季在第18周和週一晚上揭露了，但公羊隊的防守與他的錯誤有很大關係。

If the Rams would have come out flat and lost, nobody would have blamed them. Instead, the Rams had one of the more impressive playoff performances we’ve seen, given the circumstances.

如果公羊會平坦而迷路，沒有人會指責他們。取而代之的是，鑑於情況，公羊是我們看到的最令人印象深刻的季后賽表演之一。

Rams take control right away

公羊立即控制

If the Rams were distracted by what was happening back in Southern California, you’d have never known it by the way they started Monday night’s game.

如果公羊因在南加州發生的事情而分心，那麼您就從來沒有知道他們在周一晚上的比賽中就知道了。

On the first play, Matthew Stafford hit Puka Nacua for a 27-yard gain. That started a 70-yard drive that ended with Stafford hitting Kyren Williams for a 5-yard touchdown.

在第一場比賽中，馬修·斯塔福德（Matthew Stafford）擊中了普卡·納庫亞（Puka Nacua），獲得了27碼的收益。這開始了70碼的驅動，結束時斯塔福德擊中了凱倫·威廉姆斯（Kyren Williams）進行5碼觸地得分。

Then the Rams forced a quick three-and-out, with the Vikings’ first two plays losing 11 yards.

然後，公羊隊迅速進行了三分，維京人的前兩場比賽輸了11碼。

Then came another strong Rams drive, though an unnecessary roughness penalty was a reason it stalled and Los Angeles had to settle for a field goal and a 10-0 lead.

然後是另一個強大的公羊隊，儘管不必要的粗糙度罰款是它停滯的原因，洛杉磯不得不以射門得分和10-0領先。

The momentum never really stopped. There was a potentially huge mistake when the Vikings seemed to recover a fumble and return it for a touchdown, but it was overturned on a replay review when officials said Stafford was flipping the ball forward for an incomplete pass.

動力從未真正停止。當維京人似乎恢復了失誤並將其恢復觸地得分時，這可能是一個巨大的錯誤，但是當官員們說斯塔福德（Stafford）將球向前翻轉以獲得不完整的傳球時，它被推翻了。

The Rams kept rolling. Darnold was strip-sacked and the fumble was returned by defensive end Jared Verse for 57 yards and a touchdown.

公羊不斷滾動。達諾德（Darnold）被脫衣舞，防守端賈里德（Jared）經文返回了57碼和達陣。

In the final minute of the first half, Stafford hit tight end Davis Allen for a touchdown. The Rams led 24-3 at halftime. The Rams had six sacks before halftime, the first time since 1988 that a team had six sacks in the first half of a playoff game.

在上半場的最後一分鐘，斯塔福德擊中了戴維斯·艾倫（Davis Allen）的緊張局面。公羊隊在中場休息時以24-3領先。公羊隊在中場休息前有六個麻袋，這是自1988年以來的第一次，一支球隊在季后賽的上半場有六個麻袋。

Everything was going well for the team that was displaced by the wildfires. The team that went 14-3 during the regular season looked like it didn’t belong in the playoffs at all.

對於因野火而流離失所的團隊來說，一切都很好。在常規賽中以14-3戰勝的球隊看起來完全不屬於季后賽。

Rams dominate the Vikings

公羊統治著維京人

When the Rams sat starters in Week 18, it seemed odd. That led to a loss, and instead of a chance at the No. 3 seed in the NFC playoffs, the Rams moved down to No. 4. They were guaranteed to get the loser of the Vikings-Detroit Lions finale, a battle of two teams that were 14-2 at that point.

當公羊隊在第18週的首發球員坐下時，這似乎很奇怪。這導致了損失，而不是在NFC季后賽中獲得3號种子的機會，而是跌至第4位。他們保證使維京人 - 德國獅子獅的失敗者成為了這一點，這是兩支球隊的14-2戰鬥。

It revealed that Rams head coach Sean McVay wasn’t worried at all about facing either team, and perhaps the Vikings in particular.

它揭示了公羊隊的主教練肖恩·麥克維（Sean McVay）對面對任何一支球隊，尤其是維京人都不擔心。

The Rams beat the Vikings once in the regular season and matched up well against them. The Vikings had a great defensive season, but Stafford was excellent in identifying the many blitzes Minnesota threw at him and getting the ball out fast. The defense built off what the Lions started in Week 18, making Darnold look like a confused and unsure quarterback.

公羊隊在常規賽中曾經擊敗過維京人，並與他們對抗。維京人的防守賽季很棒，但斯塔福德在確定明尼蘇達州的許多閃電戰向他投擲並迅速將球傳球方面表現出色。防守製造了獅子在第18週開始的一切，使達諾德看起來像是一個困惑且不確定的四分衛。

Even when Darnold finally threw a touchdown, to T.J. Hockenson in the third quarter, it was an inaccurate pass that Hockenson made a great play on to pin it to his hip. Darnold was off all night, due in large part to the pressure the Rams consistently generated.

即使達諾德（Darnold）最終在第三季度向霍金森（TJ Hockenson）進行了觸地得分，這是一個不准確的傳球，霍金森（Hockenson）發揮了出色的作用，將其固定在他的臀部上。達諾德整夜都離開了，這在很大程度上是由於公羊一致產生的壓力。

The Rams will move on for a tough matchup against an Eagles team that is 13-1 since the end of September, counting Philly's win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. But it’s safe to assume the Rams will be mentally prepared for any adversity they face in that game.

公羊隊將繼續與老鷹隊進行一場艱難的比賽，這是自9月底以來13-1，這是費城周日擊敗綠灣包裝工隊的勝利。但是，可以肯定地假設公羊將為他們在該遊戲中面臨的任何逆境做好準備。
