The Los Angeles Rams beat the Chicago Bears 20-17 in OT, and will face the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship. Colin Cowherd analyzes the win and how the Rams were able to overcome Caleb Williams’ late game heroics.

Former Packers offensive lineman David Bakhtiari reacted to Davante Adams' big catch for the Rams in their playoff win over the Bears.

Pro Football Focus released its game grades on Monday, showing how well (or poorly) everyone played for the Rams. Kevin Dotson, Kamren Curl, Kamren Kinchens and Omar Speights were by far the top performers, shining in Los Angeles' thrilling victory.

After Caleb Williams threw the game-tying touchdown with 17 seconds remaining in regulation, the Bears quarterback threw an interception on a drive that could've won Chicago the game in overtime. The Rams capitalized on the mistake, moving the ball down the field before Harrison Mevis kicked a 42-yard field goal to win the game for Los Angeles.

Despite forcing OT with a catch in the final minute in the 4th Quarter, the Chicago Bears' playoff journey comes to an end.

The Rams nearly abandoned their 13 personnel grouping against the Bears, causing limited opportunities for Tyler Higbee and the TEs.
