Kenley Jansen went to the Rams' playoff game as the guest of Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson
Saturday was a special day for California sports fans, as the NFL playoffs returned to Los Angeles for the first time since 1994. The Rams hosted the Falcons at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which was also the Dodgers' first home after moving out west in 1958.
The baseball club had representation at the big event, as closer Kenley Jansen (no stranger to playoff games himself) was the lucky guest of a Pro Football Hall of Famer -- former Rams running back Eric Dickerson:
What¡¯s up LA? Can¡¯t wait to see the @RamsNFL this weekend in the #pLAoffs ?. It better be loud! Shout out to @EricDickerson for the invite. #LARams pic.twitter.com/ApUFNp4RQW

Looks like Jansen got some pretty nice gear, too.
It was a new experience for Jansen, who had never been to an NFL game before. He watched the game with his wife, Gianni, and he was also able to get a picture with Dickerson:

Although the Rams lost, 26-13, Jansen clearly had a lot of fun. Football season is over in Los Angeles, but don't despair too much, Rams fans.
As Jansen tweeted, Dodgers baseball is just around the corner.
