Frequently Asked Questions
What happened on Caleb Williams' iconic touchdown play against the Rams?
With the Bears trailing 17-10 in the final seconds of the 4th quarter on 4th down, Williams sprinted backward to near midfield before launching a touchdown pass to Cole Kmet to tie the game. Matthew Stafford, like everyone else in the building, thought the play was dead before Williams uncorked the throw.
How did the Rams survive overtime against the Bears in the playoffs?
Los Angeles won the coin flip but went three-and-out on their first overtime possession. Chicago then drove to the Rams' 48-yard line before a miscommunication between Williams and D.J. Moore led to an interception, allowing Stafford to get L.A. into field goal range for a 20-17 win.
What comeback did Caleb Williams engineer against the Packers before facing the Rams?
The week before the divisional round, Williams rallied the Bears from down 21-3 to beat the Green Bay Packers 31-27, which made his near-comeback against the Rams even more alarming for Los Angeles.
What moves did the Bears make this offseason to improve their roster?
Chicago added veterans and speed to their roster, including safety Coby Bryant, first-round pick Dillon Thieneman, wide receivers Kalif Raymond and Zavion Thomas, and tight end Sam Roush to improve run-blocking.
What big offseason moves did the Rams make after their playoff run?
The Rams made blockbuster trades for cornerback Trent McDuffie and defensive end Myles Garrett, and also selected a quarterback in the first round despite Stafford coming off an MVP season in 2025.
