Chicago Bears set to host Los Angeles Rams in NFL divisional round

The Bears host the Rams after both teams advanced through wild-card wins, with the winner moving on to face the 49ers or Seahawks in the NFC championship.

  • On Sunday, Jan. 18, the Chicago Bears will host the Los Angeles Rams at Soldier Field, Chicago, though the NFL has yet to announce an exact kickoff time.
  • Wild-Card victories by the Rams and Bears produced the matchup as the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Carolina Panthers 34-31 and the Chicago Bears rallied to beat the Green Bay Packers 31-27.
  • Rams veteran Matthew Stafford and coach Sean McVay bring playoff experience, while Chicago head coach Ben Johnson leads a young team with quarterback Caleb Williams' 361 passing yards and two TDs.
  • The victor will move on to face the winner of the 49ers-Seahawks divisional game, keeping the winner's path to the NFC title intact as the NFL schedules kickoff times after remaining wild-card contests.
  • Across Chicago, fans are already planning for this playoff matchup, the first since the 1986 NFC championship, with Anguiano saying, `I think it's a little bit of hope after everything we've been through lately, so it takes away from all the stress and everything we've been through.
