And there was certainly some assistance I think they got in that where Sean McVay just didn't seem to call a great game.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Full Show โ€” January 19, 2026

See, maybe the top offensive mind in the sport, he basically just kind of gave up on the rushing attack for chunks of the game.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Full Show โ€” January 19, 2026

I feel like there were some reasons for that.

It seemed to me like whenever the Bears would stem to a five-man front, get Tremaine Edmonds off one edge, I think that

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Matt Stafford seemed to me, and I'll go through a second viewing of the game at some point, but my impression just kind of watching the TV copy live in real time was Stafford was making some adjustments to go to some pass plays as opposed to running into a five-man front that the Bears showed on occasion.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

But McVay and the game plan going in didn't necessarily seem to suit the opponent that the Bears had.

They've been dominant lately in 13 personnel.

They weren't using that early in the game either, just running a bunch of tight end bodies at a Bears run defense that hadn't been great.

But for what the Rams threw at the Bears and what the Bears needed to do, they forced the Rams' hand in some of these situations.

And between...

The two QBs, Matt Stafford was the one to me who did look more uncomfortable, who seemed to struggle more with the conditions, whether that was the weather, the playoffs, the crowd, whatever it was.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Full Show โ€” January 19, 2026

The Bears had the quarterback in Caleb Williams that at least seemed to me to be playing within himself, who looked comfy in a way that Stafford did not.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

So a lot of credit to D.A.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

and the Bears defense.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Full Show โ€” January 19, 2026

Yeah, that's the tough spot that the Bears were in because it was obviously an attempt by the coaching staff to make the best of really difficult circumstances.

The left tackle position with now four different starters at left tackle when you're looking at the football season.

And Joe Tooney has been there before.
