Jason Kelce has been praised by NFL fans for wearing a Los Angeles City Fire Department hat on ESPN's Monday Night Countdown. Kelce wore the blue cap at the front and center of the broadcast of the Rams' playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings, which was moved from SoFi Stadium to Glendale, Arizona because of the ongoing fires that are still engulfing Los Angeles.
A growing force of firefighters continued to battle massive infernos across the city on Monday as more powerful winds moved in and threatened recent progress against wildfires that have destroyed thousands of homes and killed at least 24 people. Planes doused homes and hillsides with bright pink fire-proof chemicals, crews prepared to pounce on hotspots across the region and dozens of water trucks rolled in to replenish supplies after hydrants ran dry last week.

In less than a week, four fires around America's second-biggest city have scorched more than 62 square miles, roughly three times the size of Manhattan. The decision was taken last week to move Monday night's final wild card game to Arizona and it promises to be an emotional evening for the LA Rams and their fans.

Jason Kelce wore a Los Angeles City Fire Department cap on ESPN's Rams-Vikings coverage. That meant Kelce's travel plans changed with ESPN's crew in place at State Farm Stadium in Arizona to cover the game. The LAFD cap that Travis' older brother had on also had the Rams logo on the side.
