LAKE FOREST http://www.theramslockerroom.com/authentic-cooper-kupp-jersey , Ill. (AP) —ble, leading by nine with the Rams in prime position following a big interception return by Joe Johnson III on an overthrown ball by Mitchell Trubisky.On the next play, with Los Angeles at the 27, Kyle Fuller picked off a wobbly pass by Jared Goff. In a flash, the threat was over and the Bears could breathe a little easier.That sequence late in the third quarter pretty much summed up the game.A spectacular defense delivered a prime-time performance, bailing out a struggling offense while carrying the NFC North leaders to a 15-6 victory over the NFC West champion Rams on Sunday.“We had the interception, right, and then the very next play our defense got an interception, and that’s what you’re talking about, and so it circled right back to the next-play mentality,” coach Matt Nagy said Monday.“That’s what I thought, we talked about that all week — next play, next play, next play — and that was a pure example last night from both sides. On defense when you’re playing well, OK, next play. On offense, you’re not playing as well Womens Tyler Higbee Jersey , next play.”The next step could be securing a playoff spot. With three games to go, the Bears (9-4) are closing in on their first postseason appearance since the 2010 team won the NFC North.They bounced back from a wild overtime loss at the New York Giants to win for the sixth time in seven games, and they figure to be tested this week when the Packers visit. Though Green Bay has a losing record and fired coach Mike McCarthy on Dec. 2, the NFL’s oldest rivalry has been one-sided in recent years.The Bears have dropped five straight and nine of 10 against the Packers, including a 24-23 gut punch in the opener at Lambeau Field. Green Bay rallied from a 20-0 deficit, with an injured Aaron Rodgers leading the way.But the Bears just took out the team that came in with the best record in the NFL. And they did it with their quarterback struggling, thanks to their dominant defense.“It definitely took us to another level going against the best team in the league,” linebacker Leonard Floyd said. “It just gave us that extra motivation to go into next week.”The Bears simply swarmed Goff, who threw a career-high four interceptions. He was also sacked three times and posted a career-low 19.1 rating.Chicago gave Todd Gurley no room to run, holding the NFL’s leading rusher to a season-low 28 yards on 11 carries.And the Bears limited an offense that ranked No. 2 to 214 yards.“What I’ll say is we just had it (Sunday night),” defensive end Akiem Hicks said. “We had a lot of heart, we had a lot of focus and we pulled it out.”The Bears needed it on a night when Trubisky had too many passes sail on him. He finished 16 of 30 for 110 yards and three interceptions after missing the previous two games because of a right shoulder injury.“There were times I was just trying to do too much, make a play,” he said. “I don’t know if that’s something I was doing mentally from sitting out for two weeks, just coming out here trying to put on a show, make big plays. I need to go in there, do my job.”Nagy insisted it wasn’t a step back for the Bears quarterback.“Not when you win Michael Brockers Jersey ,” he said. “He made some plays when we needed to. For him to be able to keep learning, there’s gonna be some bumps in the road. You can’t throw for 350 yards every game. That’s just not gonna happen in this offense in Year 1. That’s not gonna happen.”NOTE: Nagy said the Bears were still evaluating CB Bryce Callahan, who left with a left foot injury late in the first half. In a game in which the running game completely faltered, franchise QB Jared Goff proved he belonged."Jared Goff is meticulously known to be an even-keeled player and person. He’s never one to show too much emotion whether the situation happens to be good or bad.Part of what makes Goff a unique player is just that, nothing can bother the guy on an emotional level. He knows how to remain calm, keep the situation at bay, and attack it with a clear-eyed view. In the biggest game of his short career, Goff was staring down the barrel of a gun at multiple points in the NFC Championship game. There were a handful of drives in which he proved that the moment simply isn’t too big for him.The first moment was the two-minute drive before half time. Goff completed 4/6 passes on the drive for 75 yards, allowing a 6-yard Todd Gurley scamper to end the drive with a touchdown. The pass deep down the left sideline to WR Brandin Cooks was particularly gorgeous, and could have went for a touchdown had Cooks not been face masked (which was missed by the way).The second drive started with 10:55 left in the fourth quarter, and this proved to be a turning point in the game. Prior to one play, Goff was seen running out wide right to tell TE Gerald Everett something. The dome was absolutely electric which is why he had to run out there and tell him the call. The play clock clicked down quickly and the Rams had to burn a timeout because of it, but it was a pivotal play in the game. On the ensuing snap, Goff sat in the pocket for what felt like ever, had nobody open, scrambled right keeping his eyes downfield, and let a bullet fly. The pass flew off camera leaving us all gasping for air http://www.theramslockerroom.com/authentic-joe-namath-jersey , though Everett pulled in a big reception on the other end of the pass, turned up field, and created a 39-yard play on a broken 3rd-and-3 that probably should have never happened. Goff completed another 33-yard pass to Josh Reynolds on the drive on a wheel route up the left sideline. The drive ultimately sputtered in the redzone with the Rams tying the game on a field goal.The third drive for Goff was the one where legends are made. The Rams had one remaining timeout and only 1:41 on the clock remaining in the game and down by three points. In the biggest possible moment, Goff ripped darts to Josh Reynolds for 19 yards, Brandin Cooks for 7 yards, Robert Woods for 16 yards, and Todd Gurley for 3 yards. This drive allowed K Greg Zuerlein to line up for the game tying 48-yard field goal.Onto overtime we go.Saints win the toss, they receive, and lets fast forward to just after the QB hit by OLB Dante Fowler Jr that led to the interception by SS John Johnson III.The Rams now have the ball in overtime at their own 46-yard line, only needing a field goal to win the game.Here’s the first play of that drive:That was followed by a nearly-fumbled -3 yard run by C.J. Anderson.Then we had part two of a legendary play and completion that saved the drive by Goff:It cannot be overstated how great these two plays were by Goff. He should have been sacked on both occasions. Instead, he extended the plays just long enough to hit TE Tyler Higbee for two positive gains (one of 12 yards, one for six yards) that allowed Greg Zuerlein to hit the game-winning 57-yard field goal.We’ve seen Goff take massive steps every year under Head Coach Sean McVay, and now he’s the youngest quarterback to ever go to a Superbowl. The man that was once thought of as a massive bust has a chance to be a Superbowl winning quarterback in only the third year of his career, and that needs to be appreciated and celebrated.Go get ‘em, #16!
