The Bears went three-and-out, but Tory Taylor drilled a 66-yard punt that bounced out of bounds at the Los Angeles 8. After the defense forced a three-and-out of its own, the offense advanced to the Rams 43. before kicking the ball back to Los Angeles with 1:03 to go. On the first play of the drive, Stafford was intercepted by safety Jaquan Brisker, sealing the victory.
