The Los Angeles Rams beat the Chicago Bears 24-10 on Monday Night Football, improving their record to 5-2 and keeping within striking distance of first place in the ultra-competitive NFC West. The Bears played the part of an offense that came into the game ranking 27th in points scored and the Rams responded with a defense that ranks third in points allowed.
Both teams have the same record, but Los Angeles made a strong statement that they are every bit as good as their five wins indicate. The Rams are within a half-game of first place of the 5-1 Seattle Seahawks and tied for second place with the Arizona Cardinals.
