My https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Adam-Shaheen-Jersey , oh my. The Chicago Bears found themselves in a late-game thriller on Sunday afternoon, after they scored 10 points in the final 1:50 of the game to get the game into overtime.Unfortunately for them, they couldn’t find a way to score that game winning touchdown, after allowing the New York Giants to score a field goal on their opening drive of the overtime period. For most, the result of the game was highly disappointing, even more so after manufacturing such an improbable comeback against what was a three-win team heading into Week 13. The good news? Everyone else within the division, including the second place Minnesota Vikings, lost. On top of that, a top wild card contender in the Carolina Panthers lost as well.The bad news? The Bears could have extending their division lead to (2.5) games and would be (even more) in the driver’s seat than they find themselves right now. On top of that, they now head back home for a Sunday night tilt against an (11-1) Los Angeles Rams team that is currently favored by four points.All in all, this was not a pretty game for the Bears. It was one filled with six different fumbles (only one lost) and three total turnovers, including a Chase Daniel pick-six on the second play of the game from scrimmage. Despite all of that, the Bears still found a way to rally back and give themselves a chance to win the game, even if that effort ended up falling short. That is something to be somewhat optimistic about moving forward.But even with the loss, there were still a few performances that stuck out in Week 13’s game ball edition. RB Tarik CohenBrad Penner-USA TODAY SportsSunday’s performance for Cohen was arguably the best of his career. On a day where the offense struggled to get going for most of the day, there was one constant and that was the former fourth rounder from North Carolina A&T. It seemed like each time he touched the ball, he was making a play. Whether that was running, catching, on punt returns Mitchell Trubisky Color Rush Jersey , or even throwing the ball. Yes, you read that right. He was responsible for the game tying touchdown pass.Cohen finished the game with 187 total yards. 156 of those came off of 12 receptions. Another 30 yards came in the run game and the final yard came on a trick play from the one yard line with three seconds left in the game, in which he found Anthony Miller in the end zone for the touchdown. Oh and he also had another 15 yards in punt returns and would have had close to another 20, if not for a penalty late in the game.Needless to say, Cohen is proving to be one of the team’s most dynamic players. His ability to make an impact multiple different ways is what continues to make him so special. It was a huge game for the second-year “offensive weapon,” even if they ultimately lost.DL Akiem HicksRobert Deutsch-USA TODAY SportsIn a game where the Bears found themselves on the road for a second straight game, with a backup quarterback and a struggling offense, they looked for creative ways to score. Before Cohen’s touchdown pass as time was expiring, it was another player that looked an awful lot like the Fridge back in ‘85, who rushed for a one-yard touchdown on fourth down.That player was the 6’5”, 330-pound Akiem Hicks. Defensively, he racked up six tackles (one for a loss), a sack, a batted pass and two quarterback hits. Offensively, he scored a one-yard touchdown on what can only be described as a freezer bowling through a bunch of grown men at the goal line.In what ended up being a strange game, this was one of the better highlights of the day for the Bears. Hicks has been worth his recent extension and more.Honorable Mention: WR Allen Robinson IIMike DiNovo-USA TODAY SportsI debated whether I wanted Robinson or Jordan Howard in this spot, but after giving it more thought, I felt Robinson made a few more big plays, especially when they absolutely needed him to.Overall Pat O'Donnell Jersey , his numbers weren’t anything special (5 catches for 79 yards). But it wasn’t just about his numbers, it was about how he made those catches and how big of an impact they made.Whether it was his impressive 30-yard catch down the sideline, as he was being interfered with and flat out overpowering the cornerback for a highlight reel catch. Or his big fourth down catch in overtime to extend the drive another four plays, even if the drive ultimately failed. This was a strong game for Robinson, even if he didn’t eclipse 100 yards on the day.Sunday was one of those games where it reminded many Bears fans why they went out and gave him a three-year, $42 million deal in the off-season. His numbers may not pop out as someone having a great season, but over his past few games he has started to perform closer to the dominant player we saw in Jacksonville back in 2015-2016. The Chicago Bears’ defense smacked around one of the best offenses in the NFL when they throttled the running attack of the Los Angeles Rams leaving them unable to function. It was the blueprint on how to beat the explosive Rams, but unless you have an outstanding defense, good luck in following the plan. The Bears are uniquely built to shut down the run, with big Eddie Goldman and even bigger Akiem Hicks up front,and they can then get after the quarterback with All Pro Khalil Mack dominating off the edge, but they also have a ball hawking secondary led by Eddie Jackson. Chicago’s defense is the best in the league because they have talent at every level. After such an important game, I wanted to reach out to our friend, Joseph McAtee at Turf Show Times, to get his perspective on what happened in Chicago’s 15 to 6 win last night. So check out this special post game edition of Five Three Questions With...Windy City Gridiron - What did the Bears do defensively that no other team has been able to do to the Rams this year?Turf Show Times - Stymie the offense in every aspect. No lie, it was very impressive what Vic Fangio did last night. The Rams’ offensive line looked completely out of whack. For whatever reason, Rams Head Coach and offensive playcaller Sean McVay didn’t want to run the ball; I think we can attribute that to you guys essentially scaring him off of it. And so leaning into the pass with an offensive line that struggled, QB Jared Goff played horribly. Y’all took out the offense from the roots, and there was just no response from the Rams on how to deal with it. And in all honesty https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Kyle-Long-Jersey , that’s sincerely concerning since this was the last playoff-caliber game we’ve got until January.WCG - Were you surprised the Bears neutralized Aaron Donald, who only had 2 tackles and 1 quarterback hit? TST - Yes, but I wouldn’t necessarily say he was neutralized. I think more than anything (as usual), he forced a gameplan to deal with him that included frequent double-teaming and even occasional triple-teaming. More than Donald, I was surprised and disappointed that the Rams couldn’t get more support elsewhere from guys like DL Ndamukong Suh and EDGE Dante Fowler Jr. For Donald to command so much attention and not see other guys benefit from the isolation was a bit of a downer.That being said, we kept you guys to just 13 points on offense and a single touchdown. Overall, I’m pleased with the defensive performance especially how little support they got from our offense.Editor: Speaking of Fowler Jr., I don’t think he liked getting popped by Tarik Cohen.WCG - If these two teams meet again this year it’ll most likely be in L.A., so do you think the California weather is all that the Rams need to get the W?TST - Man, if the cold weather narrative needed a push last night, it certainly got one! It’s just hard not to buy into that narrative. Cali team. Cali QB. Cali football. And given some memorable outcomes (FOR THE WRONG REASONS) from the LA Rams traveling to frigid climates for some of the biggest games in franchise history, it’s just something that I think is hard to discount.Do I think that’s all the Rams need? No. Do I think it would help? Hard not to think so after last night! But I think the players deserve more credit than the weather. Y’all’s defense won the game last night on their own. If they play like that again, I think y’all could beat us in the middle of the summer in the desert.Thanks to Joseph McAtee of Turf Show Times for taking some time for some post game questions. Good luck the rest of the way, unless, you know...
