NFL Week 14, 2018: Best games to watch on Sunday

1. Bears vs. Rams

Thanks to some help from the Dallas Cowboys beating the New Orleans Saints along with recently defeating the Detroit Lions, the Los Angeles Rams are back in the driver’s seat when it comes to earning the top seed in the NFC playoff picture. But first, the Rams need to make sure they escape with a tough road win against the Chicago Bears, who will be looking to make the playoff picture interesting as well.

In a division normally won by the Minnesota Vikings or Green Bay Packers, it’s been the Bears who have emerged as the team to beat this season, but even they know how quickly their lead could disappear over these final weeks. Defeating a team like Los Angeles certainly won’t be easy when looking at the talent they have to face, but from Chicago’s perspective, this is also an opportunity to show the rest of the NFC they are in fact the real deal.

Between Todd Gurley and Brandin Cooks, it will be interesting to see how this Rams’ offense matches up against the intense defense of the Bears. Without question, this was the best game to flex to the Sunday night spot, and who knows, maybe these two teams will meet at some point again come January.
