Overview
- Kamren Curl intercepted Caleb Williams on a 25-yard throw to the right sideline on 2nd-and-8 from the Rams’ 48-yard line, ending Chicago’s overtime possession.
- Los Angeles then drove for Harrison Mevis’s 42-yard field goal to win 20-17 and advance to face Seattle in the NFC Championship.
- Video showed D.J. Moore slow or stop on the route that Curl undercut, prompting scrutiny of the receiver’s execution in the decisive moment.
- Williams declined to blame Moore, describing a miscommunication on the route’s shape and depth after his late touchdown to Cole Kmet had forced overtime.
- D.J. Moore finished with five catches for 52 yards and a touchdown, and analysts also highlighted Chicago’s earlier short-yardage and goal-line failures as key to the loss.
