Overview
- Harrison Mevis converted a 42-yard field goal in overtime to seal a 20-17 win that sent Los Angeles to the NFC Championship.
- Chicago forced overtime on Caleb Williams’ fourth-down strike to Cole Kmet, then threw an overtime interception that set up the Rams’ winning kick.
- Matthew Stafford completed 20 of 42 passes for 258 yards with no touchdowns and a 47.6% completion rate in difficult conditions.
- Postgame, Stafford said he never found a rhythm and added, "Obviously, I can be better," while crediting the Rams’ defense and Mevis for the win.
- OptaSTATS noted Stafford is the first QB since the 1970 merger to win a road start with 40+ attempts, under 50% completions and 0 TDs, and analysts caution the Rams will likely need sharper quarterback play against the Seahawks.
