Inglewood The Los Angeles Rams won a top National Football League game thanks to their strong defense against the Chicago Bears.
At 24:10, the Rams’ defense only allowed a field goal, and twice they were also able to intercept throws from Bears quarterback Nick Foles. Offensively, the California team was given a solid performance from quarterback Jared Goff, who threw 219 yards and two touchdown passes.
Chicago scored their only touchdown late in the game with a score of 24-3 for Los Angeles when Eddie Jackson ran into the end zone after losing the ball on the Rams offensive, a so-called fumble.
With a record of five wins and two defeats, the Rams remain promising in the playoff race. In the highly competitive NFC West Division, they are level with the Arizona Cardinals behind the Seattle Seahawks, who suffered their first defeat of the season at 34:37 after extra time against the Cardinals at the weekend. Chicago now also has five wins and two losses and is behind the Green Bay Packers in the NFC North.
