The Chicago Bears<\/a> will host the Los Angeles Rams<\/a> in the divisional playoffs, where Chicago is looking to keep their magical season going with a trip to the NFC Championship on the line.<\/p>\n

The Bears<\/a> are coming off another improbable comeback against the\u00a0Green Bay Packers<\/a>, where Chicago scored 25 points in the fourth quarter to pull out a 31-27 win at Soldier Field. Quarterback Caleb Williams led four straight scoring drives in the final quarter, including closing the game with three touchdown drives, while the defense came up with some big stops in the second half.<\/p>\n

Now, Chicago faces its toughest challenge yet when they welcome the Rams to Soldier Field. Los Angeles has a high-powered offense and equally dominant defense looking to get a win on the road. But they’ll also have to contend with what’s gearing up to be frigid and windy conditions on Sunday night. Here’s how the Bears and Rams stack up statistically ahead of their divisional round matchup.<\/p>\n
