The Los Angeles Rams knocked out the Chicago Bears in the divisional round on Sunday night, advancing to the NFC title game where the Seattle Seahawks await. For the second straight week, there were clear mistakes made by the Rams that need to be cleaned up, but the only thing that matters is that they got the win.

Pro Football Focus released its game grades on Monday, showing how well (or poorly) everyone played for the Rams. Kevin Dotson, Kamren Curl, Kamren Kinchens and Omar Speights were by far the top performers, shining in Los Angeles’ thrilling victory.

Here are the top and bottom performers on each side of the ball (min. 10 snaps).
