Can Sean McVay overcome Soldier Field demons?
Back in 2018, one of the more important football games of the modern era took place when the Los Angeles Rams took on the Chicago Bears. On that Sunday night, it was Sean McVay’s offense going up against Vic Fangio’s defense. The Rams had scored 30 or more points in 10 of their previous 12 […]
L.A Rams News: Do you know their record against Caleb Williams?
Just curious, do you know what the Los Angeles Rams win/loss record is against Caleb Williams? It’s 0-1. That’s right, Williams beat the Rams last year in his rookie season, and he’s 1-0 vs. the Rams, Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay. So, I ask, how do the Rams beat the Bears this weekend? If Williams […]
Will Kevin Dotson return?
The Rams have been sliding backwards since they lost Kevin Dotson in the middle of their loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but Sean McVay is hopeful that the guard can return to action this Sunday against the Bears. McVay told reporters on Wednesday that Dotson intends to play, but he was listed as ‘limited’ for […]
5Qs, 5As with Windy City Gridiron: How has Ben Johnson created a winning culture in Chicago?
A trip to the NFC Championship is on the line when the Los Angeles Rams take on the Chicago Bears in the Divisional Round. The Rams haven’t won at Soldier Field since 2003, and are 3-2 against the Bears under Sean McVay. Before both teams freeze their keisters off in the Windy City, I spoke […]
Rams vs. Bears Divisional Round: Quentin Lake is the key to LA’s defense
Now that we’re full-on into the playoffs, it’s time to stop looking in the rearview with our Secret Superstars series, and start looking forward to the next game with Postseason X-Factors. The principle is the same — using game tape and metrics to uncover those hidden gems for every team who are primed to bring […]
Is Matthew Stafford really that bad in the cold?
One of the primary talking points when it comes to the Los Angeles Rams playing the Chicago Bears on Sunday at Soldier Field is the weather. The Rams play in California while the Bears have played their last three home games in the cold. Matthew Stafford is 1-9 in cold, rainy, or snowy conditions since […]
Rams fondly remember last playoff game against Bears DC
With as good as the Rams offense and as bad as Bears defense has been this season, Sunday’s divisional round game could come down to the matchup between Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay against Chicago defensive coordinator Dennis Allen. Although he wasn’t directly involved in the play, will Allen remember the last time he faced […]
How can Rams avoid a collapse against the Bears?
The Los Angeles Rams are set to play the Chicago Bears on Sunday in the divisional round of the NFC playoffs. While it should be a good matchup between two similarly skilled teams, it will also give the Rams an opportunity to right the wrongs of two of their losses this season. While the Rams […]
Divisional round picks: Rams must fare weather conditions to advance
Wild card weekend did not disappoint for the first three games as the Rams-Panthers, Packers-Bears, Bills-Jaguars, and 49ers-Eagles all delivered one score games coming down to the final possession. The divisional round is now set with the Bills-Broncos and 49ers-Seahawks playing on Saturday. On Sunday, the Texans-Patriots and Rams-Bears will play for their opportunity to […]
L.A. Rams News: Should they put Puka at cornerback?
It’s Hump Day, let’s have some fun, and a topic I thought would be fun would be: Should the Los Angeles Rams put Puka Nacua at cornerback? If you watched last week’s game against the Carolina Panthers, then you saw Matthew Stafford almost throw a second interception on the day, instead Nacua punched the ball […]
The battered and bruised Bears
The Chicago Bears sent their division rival, the Green Bay Packers, home packing with a wildcard win. The victory came with a hefty price tag as the Bears lost two key starters in LB TJ Edwards and LT Ozzy Trapilo. These two injuries will loom large when Chicago hosts the Los Angeles Rams in the […]
Bears defense is one of the worst to ever make it this far
A Cinderella story in Chicago? Probably not. This is the worst possible divisional round matchup for the Chicago Bears and the best possible divisional round matchup for the Los Angeles Rams. Only two teams have allowed 36 passing touchdowns this season. One of those teams has the second pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and […]
Has Puka Nacua changed how Rams are officiated?
Prior to the Los Angeles Rams’ Week 16 game against the Seattle Seahawks, wide receiver Puka Nacua went on a controversial podcast. While the timing wasn’t great, what Nacua said was even worse. The Rams wide receiver implied that NFL referees make calls just to get shown on TV during games. On a livestream with […]
Does Sean McVay need to start ‘taking the points’?
Following the NFL’s Wild Card Weekend, there has been a lot of discussion around fourth down decisions and teams opting not to ‘take the points’ and instead going for it in a big spot. That was the case for the Los Angeles Rams when they decided to go for it at the end of the […]
L.A Rams News: It will be a cold Sunday night
We don’t know exactly what the weather will be like when the Los Angeles Rams travel to face the Chicago Bears, but we should have a pretty good idea. It’s Chicago in January; it’s going to be frigid. Take away the temperature though, and consider this will be Matthew Stafford and Caleb Williams going at […]
Rams NFC playoff bracket: Chicago Bears will be LA’s Divisional Round opponent
The Rams traveled to Carolina to take on the NFC South-winning Panthers in the Wild Card Round, and after a 34-31 win, Los Angeles advances to the Divisional Round. The Rams were the third of three NFC West teams to land in the postseason this year, and for a stretch of the season, they looked […]
When talent is the enemy of good
Can a number one pick take his team to the Super Bowl and still be considered a bust? Caleb Williams, the NFL’s least accurate quarterback of 2025 according to Next Gen Stats, is two wins away from seriously challenging that theory. Although Williams is the toast of the league this week because of a league-leading […]
Rams Film Review: Pass Rush shows up vs. Panthers
It’s no secret that the Los Angeles Rams defense is built around their pass rush. The overall ethos of the defense has been for the pass rush to affect the quarterback and therefore help the lack of talent outside at cornerback. To say that there have been some frustrations with the overall pressure consistency would […]
Rams starting CB goes back on injured reserve
The Los Angeles Rams will be without one of their starting cornerbacks for the remainder of the postseason. After re-injuring his shoulder in the first quarter in the Wild Card game against the Carolina Panthers, the Rams have placed Ahkello Witherspoon back on injured reserve. Witherspoon attempted to come back into the game in the […]
Not-so-special teams will cost the Rams again soon enough
Special teams nearly cost the Los Angeles Rams against the Panthers in the Wild Card Round. Matthew Stafford ensured that wouldn’t happen, but if special teams didn’t cost them this weekend, it will eventually. The unit has been the Rams’ biggest weakness all season long. It was so bad that Sean McVay made an in-season […]
L.A. Rams News: Bad news Bears
The Los Angeles Rams will take on the Chicago Bears in the next round of the playoffs, and at this point, no matter who you play you’re going to play a tough opponent, but the Bears in Chicago? Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams with a defense that can force turnovers? We have all week to […]
Rams-Bears Divisional Round opening odds
The Los Angeles Rams are a 4.5-point favorite against the Cinderella Chicago Bears in the Divisional Round, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. Chicago, with Caleb Williams under center, has been the comeback king all season long, pulling out the most frustratingly miraculous wins you’ve ever seen. The Rams won a surprising 34-31 thriller over the Panthers in […]

Join today’s thread and feel free to comment all about on what’s been (so far) a thrilling Wild Card Weekend! This is basically the last full day of football with three games taking place on Sunday. After the wild card games, there will be four games left next weekend, then two then one. The season […]
10 takeaways from Rams wild win vs. Panthers
The Los Angeles Rams certainly made things interesting in a playoff game against the Carolina Panthers in which they were 10-point favorites. It took a game-winning drive from Matthew Stafford in the fourth quarter to get it done, but the Rams came out on top 34-31. This game set the tone for the 2025-26 postseason. […]
Matthew Stafford finger injury update: Rams QB status for Divisional Round
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford suffered an injury to a finger on his throwing hand in the opening round of the playoffs against the Carolina Panthers.
