The magical run of the Chicago Bears came to an end with a 20-17 OT loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFL Divisional Round. A defining moment came in OT when Caleb Williams threw an interception that was intended for DJ Moore, which found itself in the hands of Kam Curl.
Afterward, former NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens put the blame on Moore, not Williams. “That interception was NOT on Caleb!! What in THE HELL was the receiver thinking/doing?!!!”
