NFL Rumors: Chiefs Vs. Rams Game Moved To LA Due To Azteca Stadium Turf Woes
The Los Angeles Rams will enjoy unexpected home comforts when they take on the Kansas City Chiefs.
The NFL will move the Rams versus Chiefs Week 11 game from Azteca Stadium in Mexico City to Los Angeles, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Tuesday, citing sources. The teams now will play each other at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the Rams’ home stadium.
The teams originally were scheduled to face off Monday in Mexico City, but the “soupy” playing surface sparked alarm in the NFL’s headquarters this week and prompted some players to consider sitting out the game, according to Schefter.
The NFL now appears to have headed off players’ direct action by taking the extraordinary step of relocating the highly anticipated contest between the teams that share the NFL’s best record after 10 weeks of regular-season play.
