Now it was time to hit the field. LA opened they season versus the Bears at home. Chicago hit the ground running, securing a 21-0 lead by the end of the first quarter it looked to be a blowout. However after a lengthy conversation with the coach Matthew Stafford and the offense picked it up. The game came down to perfectly execuated 4 minute drive led by Matthew Stafford that led to the game tying touchdown punched in by Cam Akers. A gutsy call for the 2 point-conversion was successfull and a game selling interception by David Long Jr. secured the 39-38 victory for the LA Rams.
