Kevin Dotson had the highest Offensive Grade (91.3) and Run Blocking Grade (93.5) among all OL in the Divisional Round (min 80% snaps played), per @PFF.

…

So that’s out of 8 teams or 40 OL.

IR, I don’t share that guy’s concern.

.@RamsNFL @ChicagoBears @AsapPuka is their best playmaker…My only criticism of Bears defense is that they played too soft in key situations. #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/5Z7KdYJXIo

Stafford HOF/MVP throw to HOF caliber WR Adams in biggest moment of the game. Just like it’s supposed to be. Players over plays.

We’ve talked about it for years– in playoffs, you need WR’s with strength to catch through contact. The windows shrink. You’ll be in confined space. You must attack the ball with strong hands and finish.

Kam Curl saw the OT interception coming the moment the Bears lined up for that play, based on something the Rams identified and worked on this week.

The Bears had the ball across the 50 with a chance to finally drive the dagger into the Rams’ hearts. When Chicago jogged out in an empty formation with two extra pass protectors, Kam Curl knew exactly what was coming next, thanks to a meeting during the week with defensive backs coach Aubrey Pleasant.

“He put a little nugget in my ear,” Curl said. “They were trying to take a shot. It was like an inside scissors or a snake concept, and I knew I had the corner on the outside. I’d seen the receiver (DJ Moore) break in. I met him, and (Williams) threw the ball. And I had to go and get it.”

This was the game of Curl’s life, on a night the Rams had to have it. It was a rare moment when their MVP-level quarterback threw no touchdowns. The youngest coach to win a Super Bowl was fighting a losing battle against the elements. The quarterback on the other side had just made the longest throw by air yards in the red zone in the history of the NFL’s Next Gen Stats. And a Soldier Field crowd was roaring in the most expensive game by ticket sales in Bears history.

That interception, followed by yet another no-look pass by Matthew Stafford, then set up the kick of a lifetime for a player who wasn’t on the Rams when the season first began

An observation I’ve witnessed first hand & maintained for a number of years. It’s bigger than Chris but he’s an excellent Cincinnati example.

In general, the Midwest & East coast guys (even commentators) tend to stick together and they’ll have a tendency to bag on the West coast teams (Troy Aikman is a tweener being Texas as a Pro but UCLA guy) Why? Not a psychologist, just an observer. The NFL is whole heartily a New York based entity (until Kronke built them a building next to SoFi so things were supposed to be more west coast influenced…but it hasn’t happened yet) so even tho the Rams are successful, the other half of the country doesn’t follow (especially with the time change and west coast games ending at midnight or 1am). So there’s a location bias…spent years watching this play out. Chris is just another example of staying close to the core. Still questioning? Where are all the major network NFL pregame shows at?

Sean McVay on Rams offense: “I did not do a very good job for our group tonight but I thought our guys were able to overcome it.”

Said he never got a feel for the game, and was particularly regretful of his 3rd-and-1 call at the start of OT.

Kam Curl today:

– 1 INT in overtime
– A team-high 13 total tackles
– 2 PDs
– 1 QB hit
– 1 4th-down run stop

Maybe the best game of Curl’s career comes at the perfect time

I can’t lie, this feels different than all the other Playoff losses we’ve had. It’s a peaceful loss, because usually after these losses in the Playoffs, we don’t have anything to really be excited for, but now we have Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson, and a young Offensive core that’s only going to get better. It was an unfortunate result, but I’m not as sad because of the potential there is on this team. We will be back and I cant wait for next Season. It will always be Bear Down!

Matthew Stafford said he could have played better, but “playoff football is about winning.”

“Played great, threw for a bunch of yards last year in the snow and we lost, so that s— sucks. So I’m happy to have played a little bit worse today and going home with a win.”

Nate Atkins@NateAtkins_
Cobie Durant said last week that his mentality on defense was, “Get the ball back for Matthew Stafford.”
