The Rams will play the Chicago Bears in an NFC Divisional Round game at Soldier Field in Chicago next weekend.
The NFL is expected to announce the day and time of the game Sunday evening. This will be the first playoff meeting between the two teams since the NFC title game at the end of the 1985 season.
The No. 5 Rams’ win over the No. 4 Panthers on Saturday, combined with the No. 6 San Francisco 49ers’ 23-19 win over the No. 3 Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, set up the matchup between the Rams and Bears.
The Rams advanced by defeating the Carolina Panthers, 34-31, in the Wild Card game at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. The No. 2-seeded Bears, under first-year coach Ben Johnson, defeated the No. 7 Green Bay Packers, 31-27, in another Wild Card game on Saturday.
The winner of the matchup between the Rams and Bears will play the winner of the matchup between the 49ers and the top-seeded Seattle Seahawks.
