Moment Rachel Platten breaks down in tears after emotional national anthem at Rams-Vikings amid LA wildfires

The Los Angeles Rams’ Wild Card playoff game descended into somber and emotional scenes as their hometown lay in ruins and destruction 370 miles away on Monday.

The Rams’ playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings was moved from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood to Glendale, Arizona due to the ongoing fires that continue to rage through Los Angeles.

Massive infernos continued to wreak havoc in the City of Angels on Monday as stronger winds moved in, threatening recent progress in the fight against wildfires that have destroyed thousands of homes and killed at least 24 people.

And after a week of turmoil and tragedy, singer Rachel Platten struggled to keep her tears at bay as she performed an emotionally charged rendition of the national anthem.

The American singer-songwriter burst into tears as the final note of the Star Spangled Banner sounded through State Farm Stadium.

As the singer sang a moving rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, the Los Angeles NFL players were also moved by the moment.

As a growing group of firefighters continue to battle brutal conditions on the front lines in Los Angeles, the Rams honored their hometown heroes earlier in the evening.

Stafford, McVay and co. also wore special t-shirts reading ‘LAFD’ in the team’s colors as the players took to the pitch to warm up, while a moment of silence was held before the match to pay respects to the victims of the tragedy .

Before the teams took the field to sing the national anthem together, Platten had performed a rendition of her 2015 hit “Fight Song” over a montage of first responders heroically battling the infernos.

When he arrived at State Farm Stadium on Monday night, quarterback Stafford opted to make his own gesture as he donned a navy blue LAFD hoodie for his entrance.

The Chargers, who share a stadium with the Rams, paid their own tribute to their fellow Los Angelenos with similar honorary T-shirts ahead of their playoff loss to the Houston Texans on Saturday.

Deadly fires broke out in Los Angeles last week, with the blazes quickly sweeping through the city and leaving destruction and devastation in its wake.

In less than a week, four fires around America’s second-largest city have burned more than 60 square miles, roughly three times the size of Manhattan, reducing entire neighborhoods to rubble and ash.

McVay’s team headed to the desert on Friday evening and spent the entire weekend using their division rival’s practice facilities.

The Cardinals opened their training facility in Tempe for use by the Rams, and a large banner reading “Welcome Los Angeles Rams” with both teams’ logos hung on the entrance gate.

Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill even sent two team planes to LA on Friday to help the team’s trip to Arizona. The Rams’ players were allowed to bring their families – and even some pets – along for the ride.

Los Angeles is still hoping for significant home field advantage for Monday’s game, even though it is about 370 miles and a six-hour drive from SoFi Stadium.

The team’s season ticket holders purchased 25,000 tickets in the first hour of availability on Friday and lined up before dawn on Monday to make the bus trip.

Before 5:30 am local time, a line of fans could be seen around the stadium.

And once fans got on the buses, they even received gifts, as an X-post from fan Allen Sales showed a towel and a foam finger on his seat.

Los Angeles won nine straight games in Arizona before the streak was snapped earlier this season.

McVay said Los Angeles requested the visitors’ locker room on Monday — even though they are still technically the home team — because of their familiarity with the space.

Only a few Rams employees were directly affected by the fires until Thursday afternoon, when the Kenneth Fire broke out a few miles from the team’s training complex in the suburb of Woodland Hills, sending smoke billowing into the air at an alarming rate.

Defensive lineman Kobie Turner said receiver Puka Nucua’s home was in an evacuation warning zone, so he came to sleep at his house one night.
