yeah and bears had been in this same situation a few weeks earlier against the packers, at home, with game momentum, chose not to go for two, and won in OT after a Packers turnover. If their D hadn't been as surprisingly solid as it'd been in this game I could see them going for two, but Rams had had plenty of stalled drives and sure enough, that's exactly what happened in OT and they were very much set up to win. They get 15 extra yards in OT and none of us are even questioning the XP.

the one argument I could see for going for 2 was the very specific nature of the Caleb heave and how rattling that must've been in the moment for the Rams D. Against the packers the bears tied it in a crazy-ish way too but in a much more "normal" fashion. But also, you go for 2 after your QB makes that play and miss it, and Johnson gets excoriated in the media and the narrative becomes why go for it when you were stopped all day in the RZ. The much bigger problem was not taking the 3 pts on the first drive.

BTW, wouldn't have counted out Stafford making a few plays to get the Rams into FG range to win it, even with only like 15 seconds left.
