NFL seasons are just 16 games long, so you can make an easy argument that every game is a big one. But there is something different about a late-season primetime affair between two division leaders.
It’s the NFC North-leading Chicago Bears playing host to the two-time defending NFC West champion Los Angeles Rams in a game we’ve had circled on our calendars for quite some time. This matchup pits a Rams team currently sitting pretty with the top overall seed in the NFC and a Bears team on the rise after following the Rams’ blueprint.
As if I needed more reasons to be hyped, here’s another video to get the juices flowing:
Yeah, it’s safe to say there’s some considerable buzz surrounding this game.
