After taking the snap, Caleb Williams tossed an interception to Rams corner Cobie Durant. More importantly, however, Williams could be seen shaking his throwing hand after that turnover, which will be worth monitoring.

Pinned Link copied Pete Prisco's Rams-Bears prediction, pick The Rams didn't look great in beating the Panthers last week, but they found a way. The Bears rallied to beat the Packers. The concern here is both defenses. They have had issues as of late. The Rams have secondary issues. The Bears do as well. But the Bears don't rush the passer either. This will be a day where Matthew Stafford lights that defense up. Look for the Rams to win a tough road game in a shootout against Caleb Williams.

Nacua's 108.3 career playoff receiving yards per game are the most all-time (min. four games played). He's coming off a 10 catch, 111-yard day against Carolina with two total touchdowns. Against a poor Bears secondary, he could feast yet again.

There's also over a 50% chance of snow. Those frigid temperatures are particularly interesting when factoring in Matthew Stafford's struggles in cold weather.

As NFL Media reports, the Bears will start Joe Thuney at left tackle tonight against the Rams. The left guard is filling in for Ozzy Trapilo. Thuney has played at left tackle over his career, most recently starting in the Super Bowl last year with Kansas City.
