The final game of the 2025-26 NFL Divisional round kicks off tonight when the Los Angeles Rams visit the Chicago Bears.
The Bears advanced into the Divisional Round following their seventh fourth-quarter comeback of the season. Down by 18 going into the final quarter, Caleb Williams threw a perfect 27-yard pass to Rome Odunze on a fourth down and set the comeback in motion. They scored 25 in the fourth quarter for a final score of 31-27.
The Rams also won last week thanks to a fourth-quarter comeback with two touchdown drives led by first-team All-Pro QB Matthew Stafford. Stafford sprained the index finger on his throwing hand while following through and making contact with a Panthers defender in last week’s game, but the QB is good to go for tonights tilt.
