Chargers Advance Past Bears In OT

ESPN— Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay locked eyes before engineering the overtime drive that lifted the Los Angeles Rams past the Chicago Bears 20-17 on a cold, snowy Sunday night, advancing them to the NFC championship game. After Caleb Williams stunned the crowd with a last-second, long-distance touchdown pass to force overtime, Kam Curl intercepted Williams on Chicago’s first OT possession, setting up Harrison “Thiccer Kicker” Mevis’ 42-yard game-winning field goal. Stafford, despite an uneven night, delivered key first-down throws — including one to Puka Nacua — to move into range, while the Rams’ defense came up with crucial fourth-down stops and turnovers throughout the game. Chicago, which had rallied repeatedly all season under first-year coach Ben Johnson, fell short despite Williams’ late heroics and two touchdown passes, as Los Angeles improved to 14-5 and earned a trip to Seattle for its first conference title game since the 2021 Super Bowl run.

January 24 · Today's Letter

Today's Holidays

Celebrate the weird stuff. We do.

Holiday #1 of 4

Tin Can Day

Tin Can Day, for those keeping score at home, is the annual reminder that humanity once looked at a metal cylinder and thought, “Yeah, let’s eat soup outta that forever.” It’s a celebration of packaging that outlives both the food and your last three relationships. Supposedly it’s about recycling, but let’s not kid ourselves—if guilt was fuel, your garage full of spaghetti sauce cans would power a small dictatorship. So light a candle, kiss your aluminum overlords, and remember: civilization peaked when we made corn shelf-stable for a decade.
