Matthew Stafford guided the Los Angeles Rams past the Chicago Bears 20‑17 in overtime Sunday night. After Caleb Williams launched a deep pass that forced extra time, Kam Curl intercepted it, setting up a 16‑yard strike to Puka Nacua. Kicker Harrison Mevis then nailed a 42‑yard field goal to seal the win.

The Rams had held a 17‑10 advantage until the final minute, when Williams scrambled, avoided pressure and lofted a 51‑yard throw to Cole Kmet, tying the game with 18 seconds left. Williams finished with two touchdowns but three interceptions, and first‑year Bears coach Ben Johnson saw his Cinderella run end abruptly.

Advancing to the NFC Championship, Los Angeles travels to Seattle to meet the Seattle Seahawks, who dispatched the 49ers 41‑6 and enter as slight favorites. A victory would send the Rams to their first conference title since the 2021 Super Bowl triumph, renewing hopes of a repeat run.
