Despite Sean McVay's self-criticism of his playcalling, the Los Angeles Rams advanced to the NFC Championship with a 20-17 overtime win over the Chicago Bears. McVay admitted to poor execution, particularly on offense, which sputtered for most of the night.

The Rams' high-powered offense managed just 174 yards through three quarters. Matthew Stafford, usually sharp in the playoffs, missed several throws and failed to record a touchdown for just the second time in his postseason career.

Still, Los Angeles leaned on its defense and Stafford’s veteran poise to secure the win. The Rams will now face the Seattle Seahawks in a rematch of their Week 16 thriller, with a Super Bowl berth on the line.
