"Harrison Mevis kicked a 42-yard field goal in OT after Kam Curl intercepted a deep pass by Williams on the Bears' first possession of the extra period. Stafford completed a 16-yard pass to Puka Nacua to get the Rams into field-goal range and set up the 245lbs Mevis, known as the Thiccer Kicker, for the game-ending kick. He was mobbed by teammates while a crowd that was rocking earlier watched in near silence."
"Although officially a 14-yard pass, the ball traveled 51.2 yards in the air, according to the NFL's Next Gen Stats. It was crazy, Stafford said. It was back and forth. We didn't play our best on offense. Our defense dominated the game. It was unbelievable to watch. Hell of a play on fourth down by Caleb to get his team to overtime."
"Williams threw for two touchdowns but was intercepted three times for the Bears, who pulled off a series of improbable wins under first-year coach Ben Johnson but came up short this time. Stafford was 20 of 42 for 258 yards and took four sacks. Nacua had 56 yards receiving after going for 111 in the wildcard win over Carolina, and Kyren Williams ran for 87 yards and two scores."
