The Bears had a chance to tie the game late in the fourth quarter, facing fourth-and-goal from the Rams' 2, but for the third time of the night, the Rams stopped Chicago on fourth down. Omar Speights' pass breakup preserved the Rams' 17-10 lead with 3:03 left in the game.

The Bears were just a few completed passes away from securing their spot in the NFC title game during Sunday’s 20-17 divisional round loss to the Rams, but Caleb Williams threw an interception on Chicago’s sole possession in overtime that ended up sealing his team’s unfortunate fate.

The win will see LA head to the No. 1 Seattle Seahawks next week in the NFC Championship Game. The AFC title game is between the No. 1 Bo Nix-less Denver Broncos and the No. 2 New England Patriots. Let's analyze the LA-Chicago game further with winners and losers:

Kmet got himself open with a bit of hand fighting, allowing Williams' pass to land right in his bread basket on a last-gasp effort from Chicago. The touchdown tied Sunday night's game 17-17, though Los Angeles rallied in overtime to kick a walk-off field goal and win, 20-17, advancing to the NFC Championship.

Chicago’s favorite fight song, “Bear Down,” began as bet among songwriters. It ended up being a city’s rallying cry.

With the Bears trailing the Green Bay Packers 14-3 in the second quarter of their wild-card playoff game, the Bears had a fourth-and-5 at their own 32. For decades, that was an obvious punting situation. Even with the current trend of going for it often on fourth down, a fourth-and-5 already in the opponents’ field-goal range is rare.

Caleb Williams' last throw in regulation was a backpedaling, fourth-down rainbow that landed in Cole Kmet's hands in the corner of the end zone for a breathtaking touchdown.
