3. Week 11 vs. Chicago Bears

The Los Angeles Rams played the Chicago Bears during the 2018 season in what was an eye-opening game for Rams fans. Even with the loss to the Saints, Rams fans were fairly confident that the Rams were the best team in football and could beat anyone.

That was until the team had to travel to Chicago to play in the cold and were punched in the mouth by the Bears’ defense. Was resulted was a very ugly 15-6 loss that made Jared Goff look absolutely awful.

In some ways, this game showed some of the cracks that the Los Angeles Rams offense had that the New England Patriots were able to utilize in the Super Bowl to hold the NFL’s most explosive offense to just three points.

The Rams get a chance at vengeance this season and luckily for the Rams, the game is in Los Angeles, not in Chicago. The Bears are still a very stout team with some insane defensive talent but it is much easier to beat them in LA rather than Chicago.

This will be right when the playoff races and seeding start to get tight and a win in this game for either team is likely going to have big playoff implications.
