TL;DR: Live stream Rams vs. Bears for free on TVNZ+. Access this free live stream from anywhere in the world with ExpressVPN.
The Chicago Bears mounted an exciting comeback against Green Bay in the Wild Card Round, marking their first NFL playoffs win in 16 years. Now they face tough competition from the Los Angeles Rams, who sneaked past the Panthers last weekend.
This is also the Bears’ first winning season since 2019, so it could be their year in the playoffs — it feels like a story to follow as we head into the Divisional Round. The Rams have posted just one more win than the Bears, making them a fairly even match on paper. But we know anything can happen in the playoffs. And whoever wins this will meet the San Francisco 49ers or Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game.
