The Los Angeles Rams may have suffered a grueling battle in the NFC\u2019s divisional round of this postseason, but they still managed to deal the knockout punch to the Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n
The haymaker came on rookie Harrison Mevis’s 42-yard field goal in overtime, a game-winning kick on Sunday to lift the Rams past the Bears 20-17.<\/p>\n

The Bears were on the ropes at the extra period\u2019s outset, with Rams safety Kamren Curl intercepting Bears quarterback Caleb Williams on the opening possession at a snowy Soldier Field.<\/p>\n
In securing the victory, Mevis, aka the “Thiccer Kicker,” became the third rookie this century to record a walk-off overtime field goal in the postseason, according to ESPN.<\/p>\n
The Rams’ quest to reach the Super Bowl will continue next Sunday. They will face the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game.<\/p>\n
Along with the win, the Rams’ social media posts were targeting The Wieners Circle, a Chicago culinary landmark located at 2622 North Clark Street.<\/p>\n

The team posted a graphic on Sunday night. This came in the form of renaming the stand “Weenie Hut Jr’s,” a reference to the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants.<\/p>\n
The edited image displayed a blue “L” on a hot dog bun. It also altered the building’s marquee to read “NOW PLAYING: BAD NEWS, BEARS.”<\/p>\n
Also, the Rams posted visuals captioned:<\/p>\n
“Rams Brrrrr. Ice Cold.”<\/p>\n
The graphic responded to a marquee The Wieners Circle displayed on Friday, which read “COMING SUNDAY SILENCE OF THE RAMS.”<\/p>\n
It was an allusion to a Dec. 9, 2018, game for the Bears, who defeated the Rams 15-6 in that contest.<\/p>\n

Chicago’s defense limited running back Todd Gurley to 28 yards in that game. They finished with four interceptions of Jared Goff, holding him to a career-low 19.1 passer rating.<\/p>\n
Apart from being known for aggressive service, the establishment previously distributed over 2,000 free hot dogs after head coach Ben Johnson celebrated a victory against the Philadelphia Eagles by appearing shirtless in the locker room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Los Angeles Rams may have suffered a grueling battle in the NFC\u2019s divisional round of this postseason,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":688473,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2070],"tags":[374,1036,692,391,2493,7,32433,1029,16573,58,6,109,261,10661,68135,8747],"class_list":["post-688472","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-chicago-bears","tag-bears","tag-caleb-williams","tag-chicago","tag-chicago-bears","tag-chicagobears","tag-football","tag-harrison-mevis","tag-jared-goff","tag-kamren-curl","tag-los-angeles-rams","tag-nfl","tag-philadelphia-eagles","tag-seattle-seahawks","tag-soldier-field","tag-the-wieners-circle","tag-todd-gurley"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115921402257283487","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688472","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=688472"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688472\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/688473"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=688472"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=688472"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=688472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
