The Rams barely made it out of their Wild Card matchup against the Panthers, needing a TD with 38 seconds left to seal a 34-31 win. They shouldn't bring the same level of play when they face the NFC North champion Bears in cold-weather Chicago.
Los Angeles QB Matthew Stafford says his sprained index finger feels “great” and he will be ready for Sunday's Divisional Round clash, which kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock. With Stafford healthy, this helps star WR Puka Nacua, who finished the regular season second in the league with 1,715 receiving yards.
Here, we'll dive into some Puka Nacua stats and a pick vs. the Bears in the Divisional Round. PrizePicks and PrizePicks Team Picks are the best places to make your NFL postseason picks.

- According to NFL Next Gen Stats, the former fifth-round pick is averaging a career 108.3 receiving yards per game in the four career playoff games — the most for anyone who has played at least four such outings.
