Rams fans celebrating a kicker they didn't know they had while quietly side-eyeing McVay's late-game playcalling.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
C.Williams hitting C.Kmet for the go-ahead score with 27 seconds left in regulation should have ended this one, and the J.Verse roughing-the-passer flag earlier in the quarter still stings. Instead, overtime arrived, M.Stafford found P.Nacua for 16, and H.Mevis drilled the 42-yarder to steal it in Chicago's freezer. The defense bent, the kicker delivered, and the fanbase is left wondering how a three-point road win can feel both like a season-saver and a warning.
