The Los Angeles Rams saluted L.A. fire first responders at the outset of Monday's NFL Wild Card game carried on ESPN's 'Monday Night Football.'

Rams’ hero Andrew Whitworth, the retired offensive lineman who helped lead the team to victory at the 2021 Super Bowl, addressed the crowd with a rally cry for the disaster-scarred city. ESPN’s cameras panned across the stadium, showing the emotion on the faces of Rams fans who made the trek east to cheer on the team in their quest to advance in the NFL playoffs. During a commercial break, ESPN ran short digital videos of notable L.A. celebrities, including actors Anne Hathaway and Bryan Cranston, expressing gratitude for the work of firefighters and first responders.
