Coverage begins with a special on-site edition of Football Night in America at 6 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
Last Saturday, the Chicago Bears (12-6) secured their first postseason victory in 15 years since the 2010 NFC Divisional Playoff, defeating the Green Bay Packers 31-27. The Los Angeles Rams (13-5) defeated the Carolina Panthers 34-31 on Saturday, in a game featuring four fourth-quarter lead changes, tied for the most in a playoff game in NFL history. The Rams are making their seventh playoff appearance in nine seasons.
Mike Tirico will call Rams-Bears alongside 17-time Emmy Award winner Cris Collinsworth (analyst) and Melissa Stark and Kaylee Hartung (sideline reporters). Three-time Super Bowl referee Terry McAulay will serve as rules analyst.
Hartung, who works her fifth NFL Playoff game with NBC Sports this Sunday, will work her first Super Bowl on Sunday, February 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif (on NBC and Peacock), on the sideline opposite Stark. Hartung has served as the sideline reporter for Prime Video’s Thursday Night Football since 2022 and is a correspondent for TODAY on NBC.

The Rams and Bears meet for the 98th time, including the postseason, on Sunday, with Chicago leading 55-39-3 in the all-time series. The teams have met twice in the postseason, with the most recent matchup in the 1985 NFC Championship Game, where the Bears defeated the Rams, 24-0, en route to winning Super Bowl XX.
In Los Angeles’ Wild Card win over Carolina, Stafford threw for 304 yards and three touchdowns, while 2025 All-Pro wide receiver Puka Nacua had 10 receptions for 111 yards and two total touchdowns. Trailing by four with 2:38 left in the fourth quarter, Stafford led the Rams 71 yards and completed a 19-yard touchdown pass to tight end Colby Parkinson to clinch the victory. In the win, Stafford passed Pro Football Hall of Famer Kurt Warner for the most postseason passing yards and completions in Rams history.
In his playoff debut, Williams threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver D.J. Moore to rally the Bears from an 18-point deficit to defeat the Green Bay Packers, marking their seventh fourth-quarter comeback victory this season. Williams completed 24 of 48 passes for 361 yards with two late touchdowns. Tight end Colston Loveland grabbed eight passes for a career-high 137 yards in his first career postseason action, becoming the first rookie tight end ever to have 8+ receptions and 100+ yards in a postseason game.
Stafford, who led the NFL in passing yards (4,707) and passing touchdowns (46), and Nacua, who topped the League in receptions (129) and ranked second in receiving yards (1,715), both earned AP First-Team All-Pro honors. Chicago had three players named to the AP All-Pro Team: First-Team left guard Joe Thuney and safety Kevin Byard III (who led the NFL with seven interceptions), and Second-Team right tackle Darnell Wright.
