The Chicago Bears are two wins away from the Super Bowl. How wild does that read?
Sunday night’s Divisional Round matchup against the Los Angeles Rams is the kind of postseason test that separates feel-good seasons from real ones. Both teams survived chaotic Wild Card games, both are quarterback-led, and both arrive believing they can win any game that turns late and tight.
For Chicago, the stakes feel heavier. This is their first Divisional Round appearance under head coach Ben Johnson, the next checkpoint in a season that has already exceeded expectations. Chicago erased an 18-point deficit to knock out Green Bay last weekend, leaning on Caleb Williams’ calm under pressure and a second-half defensive turnaround that flipped the script at Soldier Field.
The Rams bring a different kind of threat. Sean McVay is coaching his 15th career playoff game against his 15th different opponent, and Matthew Stafford remains one of the most dangerous late-game quarterbacks in football. Los Angeles needed every ounce of that experience to escape Carolina in the Wild Card Round, and the stage, the weather, or the moment won’t rattle them.
With kickoff approaching, we asked the Bleacher Nation staff to make their calls.

Bears 27, Rams 24
Two of the game’s best fourth-quarter quarterbacks, one ascending to stardom, one on a collision course with Canton. Whichever of the two has the ball last on Sunday night will win and move on to the NFC Championship.

Weird weather game results in Scorigami, right?

Bears 23, Rams 20
Chicago’s defense comes up with a few timely takeaways thanks to the crowd noise and nasty weather. Caleb Williams leads the Bears on a game-winning field goal drive with Cairo Santos tucking one inside the right upright.
