The LA Rams started the weekend third in the NFC West behind unbeaten Seattle Seahawks. They look to get a fifth win of the season when hosting the Chicago Bears who top NFC North. The Rams fill the seventh and final wild card place in the NFC but could be out of those places by the time this match takes place. They got their season off to a good start with wins over the Dallas Cowboys and at the Philadelphia Eagles. Their unbeaten record was lost when going down 35-32 at the Buffalo Bills. The Rams trailed 21-3 at half time but a great second half comeback just failed to get them the win.  Two wins over the Giants and Washington followed, before a loss at San Francisco left them on 4-2 for the season, again conceding 21 points in the first two quarters.

Chicago Bears are 5-1 for the season and second overall in the NFC. That looks a great record but it could so easily be very different. Of their five victories, the highest winning points margin has been seven, when winning at the Carolina Panthers in their latest match. Their other four wins over Detroit, New York Giants, Atlanta and Tampa Bay had a combined winning margin of just 13 points. They will have to contend with Aaron Donald in this game. The All-Pro defensive lineman has seven and a half sacks so far this season, more than any other player. The Bears know full well what he is capable of as he had two sacks against them last season when losing to the Rams. They come into this game with several players on the injury list, a narrow win for the Rams looks on the cards here.
