Missed opportunity: Rome Odunze drops would-be TD
Before the Williams INT, the Bears QB did throw a nice ball deep to Rome Odunze that likely would've gone for a touchdown had he been able to bring it in.

Caleb Williams throws INT on fourth down, may have hurt finger
Ben Johnson elected to keep his offense on the field on a fourth-and-2 opportunity from the L.A. 21-yard line. 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.

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. Pick: Rams 33, Bears 27

Puka Nacua's playoff dominance
The Rams wideout is one of the best playoff performers all-time. 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.

Weather expected to be a factor at Soldier Field
The forecast at Solider Field says it'll be around 19 degrees at kickoff with a real-feel of -5 degrees. 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.
