Overview
- Mevis drilled a 42-yard field goal in overtime to beat the Bears 20–17 in Chicago and send the Rams to the NFC Championship.
- NBC’s audio malfunctioned during Mevis’s postgame interview, producing scrambled sound as he began answering a question.
- Some outlets attributed the scramble to a perceived profanity, though the clip leaves it unclear whether he used an expletive or said a milder word.
- After going undrafted in 2024, Mevis rebuilt his case by hitting 20 of 21 field goals with the UFL’s Birmingham Stallions, then joined the Rams’ practice squad in November 2025 and soon replaced Joshua Karty.
- Since taking over, he has gone 12-of-13 on field goals with perfect extra points in the regular season and has been flawless in the playoffs, while drawing attention for his "Thiccer Kicker" nickname and 6-foot, 245-pound frame.
