The Bears and Rams got all they could handle from their opposition in the 2026 wild-card round. They're still dancing, though, standing just two games away from the Super Bowl.
Neither Chicago nor Los Angeles was faultless in their postseason openers. The Bears fell 18 points behind, set back by a glittering first-half showcase from the Packers and their ace, Jordan Love. Meanwhile, Los Angeles toiled after Matthew Stafford appeared to injure his hand against the Panthers.
But they found their form when it mattered the most. Caleb Williams anchored Chicago's turnaround, firing off a handful of precise tosses to power the Bears to victory. Stafford, too, came to life in the game's fourth quarter, finding Cody Parkinson with a strike with two minutes left to deliver a momentous win to Sean McVay's side.
The Rams' reward is a road test with the Bears on Sunday night. It should prove a challenging fixture. Soldier Field rarely disappoints this time of year. With a spot in the NFC Championship on the line, that shouldn't change come Sunday.
