The Rams squeaked by the Bears in the divisional round of this year’s NFL playoffs on Sunday night, beating Chicago 20-17 to advance to the NFC championship game. As the score reflects it was a tight contest that could have gone any number of ways in the final minutes of regulation and overtime. But Los Angeles was able to withstand the shock of Caleb Williams’s ludicrous game-tying touchdown throw, intercepting the Bears QB on his first OT possession and kicking the game-winning field goal a few minutes later.
After the exciting win, Rams coach Sean McVay lauded his team for gritting out a tight win, as expected. But, rather unexpectedly, the 39-year-old also called out his own “bad coaching” as one of the obstacles L.A. had to overcome to win the game.
