The New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams had to contend with snow and freezing conditions
The Los Angeles Rams secured a nail-biting win in Chicago to beat the Bears in the NFL play-offs and follow the New England Patriots into the Conference Championships.
After leading the Bears to a record number of comeback victories this season, quarterback Caleb Williams had the chance to clinch another after throwing a stunning touchdown pass in the final seconds to send Sunday's Divisional Round game into overtime.
However, the 2024 number one draft pick threw an interception and on the Rams' subsequent drive, Harrison Mevis' field goal secured a 20-17 win in freezing conditions in Illinois.
In Massachusetts, the Patriots also moved to within one win of the Super Bowl, overcoming snow and the vaunted Houston Texans defence to win 28-16.
