The Los Angeles Rams enter their NFC divisional matchup against the Chicago Bears focused on playing 'great for 60 minutes.' Coach Sean McVay wants consistent execution after a season of blown leads, including a Week 16 collapse against Seattle. A recent fourth-quarter comeback against Carolina in the wild-card round showed resilience but exposed lingering issues.

Los Angeles has struggled closing games, with costly losses to Philadelphia and Seattle after holding substantial leads. Quarterback Matthew Stafford, however, thrives in pressure situations, holding the franchise record for playoff comebacks. The Rams must counter a Bears team that set a postseason record with its own late-game rally against Green Bay.

Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams led the NFL with seven game-winning drives this season. The Rams' defense, led by players like Jared Verse, acknowledges the Bears' relentless will. McVay believes the team's past failures could become strengths, but the priority remains avoiding a shootout and playing a complete game.
