The Los Angeles Rams will travel to Charlotte to kick off the 2026 NFL playoffs against the Carolina Panthers.
With the Rams' win following the San Francisco 49ers' loss in Week 18, Los Angeles moved up and secured a more favorable matchup.
The Panthers can thank the Atlanta Falcons for taking care of business for Carolina. As a result of the Panthers losing to Tampa Bay in Week 18, their playoff hopes were riding on a division foe.
Los Angeles continues to benefit from the combination of head coach Sean McVay and veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford. With the 37-year-old under center alongside Puka Nacua and Davante Adams at receiver, there's plenty of reason to fear what Los Angeles has cooked up during the playoffs.
Here's everything you need to know to watch the Panthers take on the Rams in the wild-card round.
