• Rams’ secondary makes statement with 3 interceptions in win over Bears

  19-01-2026 06:52 via ocregister.com

  But when the Rams defense returned to the sideline, overtime ahead of them in their divisional-round game, the group gathered, no hint of despair among them.
  “On to the next play,” cornerback Cobie Durant said. “They’re NF

  CHICAGO — A three-and-out to open overtime put all the pressure on the Rams’ defense in Sunday night’s divisional-round matchup with the Chicago Bears. The game had gone to sudden death, and a field goal would end the Rams’ season.
  But safety Kam Curl wasn’t ready to go home, instead making a diving interception at the Rams 22 to give the ball back to quarterback Matthew Stafford. And Stafford wasn’t going to come up short twice.
