Odunze has to make that catch and Ben's gotta learn to just take the FGs.

What  now ? Chase the points you didn't get before or take the fg ?

Williams is 13-19, with about 4 drops in there

The DEFENSE is balling out vs the high powered Rams offense. That was not on anyone's bingo card tonight I imagine.

The Bears wanted to go 80 yards for a td. LA goes 90 instead.
Ouch

Do the Bears have one more come back in them?

Ben Johnson has been complete utter ass tonight.

Bears don't deserve to win this but holy hell that's an amazing play to tie a football game.

Would have been better if he just walked off the field midplay again.....

And the OLs inabilty to get a push in short yardage situations, and Johnson's inability to understand that, proves fatal.

Ben Johnson has a lot to answer for with those short yardage calls. Should have ran some play action boots with Caleb at least instead of running right into a brick wall every fucking time.

Rich Lazy DJ Moore was lazy

I don't care that he caught two game winning TD passes. He's done that rich, lazy shit the last couple of years and it's pathetic. Chance to advance to the next round on the line and this POS literally quits on the route. Fuck him.

Montez is gonna have a big game in the win!

He made his one play of the game early and took the rest of the day off. As usual.

Had that game won. Fuck.

Had that game won. Fuck.

The play of the bad pick - they should have drawn up 3 QB runs, that probably get 10 yards, kick the FG, go home.

They definitely did not use Caleb’s legs enough. Head scratching game from Ben Johnson.

After Collinsworth said that Williams had the short completion to the tight end figured out, they shelved that play under the 'ok that works, let's try something else to fool them' over thinking.

Should have gone for 2 at end of regulation.  McVay would have.

I was hoping they would. But I also was like, how many 3rd and 1s did they not get. That’s what lost this game. They couldn’t convert 3rd and short.

Future looks bright. Caleb is good. When he starts making the layups, it’s gonna be amazing.

Could have kept Bustin lol. Nah

Kick the fucking field goals. Take the points.

With the way 3rd and 4th down was going, I liked kicking the extra point. They had the game won, should have used Caleb’s legs more.

Ben Johnson comes from the Dan Campbell school of gambling. Sometimes it's ok to kick a field goal, Ben.

If DJ Moore doesn't half-ass his route, he's sitting wide open at the 30. But yeah, I wouldn't have minded a short completion there or two.

Brutal. And to think if that doesn’t happen the Bears maybe win in regulation. Terrible

The play was over and Dexter elbowed the guy. If they decided to go with no call that would have been ok.
