Rams-Bears kickoff time at 5:30 p.m. on NBC

Bears-Rams Kickoff Time Set for Sunday's Playoff Showdown on NBC

The kickoff time for Sunday's highly anticipated divisional round matchup between the Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams has been officially announced, with the highly-anticipated game set to kick off at 5:30 p.m. ET, airing live on NBC.

With their opponent and date already set, the Bears have finalized their preparation schedule for the week, which includes meetings on Monday, a walk-through on Wednesday, and practices on Thursday and Friday. The team's determination was evident in their incredible comeback to beat the Green Bay Packers 31-27 on Saturday, propelling them into the divisional round.

The Rams, meanwhile, will look to build upon their recent victory over the Carolina Panthers, which ended with a score of 34-31. Despite both teams having already secured their spots in the playoffs, it's surprising that the league has allocated Sunday games for both Saturday winners, giving each extra day of rest before facing off.

The Bears and Rams last met on the gridiron 40 years ago, when the '85 Chicago Bears defeated the Los Angeles Rams en route to winning the NFC Championship Game. This weekend's matchup marks a new chapter in their ongoing rivalry, with Sunday's game set to air live on NBC at 5:30 p.m.

The winner of this weekend's game will have their path to the NFC Championship Game and ultimately, Super Bowl LX, laid out before them. If the Bears continue to advance, their remaining game times are set, while the seeding for next week's matchup hangs in the balance.
 
omg I'm so hyped!!! 🀩 Sunday can't come soon enough!! The Bears-Rams matchup is gonna be insane! πŸ‘Š I've been following this season and it's amazing how far the Bears have come, especially after that crazy comeback against the Packers πŸ™Œ They need to win this one for their fans (that includes me, obvs) πŸ˜‚ I'm rooting for them all the way! πŸ’ͺ As for the Rams, they're gonna put up a good fight, but I think the Bears' momentum is on their side 🎯 The game is gonna be so much fun watching live on NBC, can't wait to see which team comes out on top πŸ“Ί Super Bowl LX is calling my name! πŸ’₯
 
omg can you even believe the kickoff time for sunday's bear-rams game is 5:30 pm?! like i know they wanna make it a primetime show, but don't they think about the students who gotta study for exams on saturdays? πŸ˜‚ i feel like they should've given them a day off lol. and omg have you seen the bear's comeback against the packers? πŸ’₯ that was insane! 🀯
 
I don’t usually comment but... I think it’s kinda weird that they're playing on Sunday after just beating someone on Saturday πŸ€”πŸ’­. Don't get me wrong, extra rest can be good and all, but it feels like they're gonna take a huge hit in terms of momentum going into the game. Like, you've just beaten one team, then you've gotta come back 7-10 days later to play another? It's a lot to handle, you know? πŸ€• I guess that’s just part of the playoff grind though πŸ˜…
 
Omg can't wait 4 Sunday's game πŸ˜†πŸˆ! I mean who doesn't love a good rivalry match? The Bears & Rams last met like 40 yrs ago 🀯 and now they're gonna face off again, it's gonna be insane! πŸ’₯ NBC is gonna bring the heat too, gotta have that live broadcast πŸ“Ί. Fingers crossed for the @ChicagoBears to pull off a win, they've been on fire lately πŸ”₯πŸ’ͺ
 
man I'm so stoked for sunday's game!!! 🀩 i was talking to my mate about it on friday and he was saying how the bears came back from behind against the packers and now they're gonna face off against the rams... that's some crazy football, right? 🏈 anyway i think the league is being pretty cool by giving them both an extra day of rest after saturday's games. it's not every day you get to see a bear or ram game without having to worry about players getting hurt from playing too soon πŸ€•. gotta admit though, i'm gonna be glued to my tv when that 5:30 pm kickoff time rolls around... can't wait for the drama and excitement πŸ’₯
 
I love how they're giving both teams an extra day of rest before the big game πŸ™ŒπŸ½. It makes sense, considering the intensity of the divisional round. The Bears and Rams have such a rich history, it'll be awesome to see how this new chapter unfolds πŸ“Ί. And can you believe it's been 40 years since they last faced off? That's crazy! 😲 I'm hyped for Sunday's game, but I think one extra day of prep for both teams is exactly what the playoffs need πŸ’ͺ
 
I mean, come on, 5:30 p.m. ET? That's pretty late for a Sunday night game. I know they want to maximize viewership, but don't they think about all the poor people who have to get up early for work the next day? Like, some of us have actual jobs and can't just stay up till midnight watching football πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. And what's with the extra day of rest for both teams? It feels like they're just making it harder on themselves by having two games instead of one. I guess that's just how the playoffs are, but still... 40 years ago, yeah, that was a big deal back then, but do we really need to revisit that old rivalry so soon? ⏰
 
I'm kinda surprised they're having another game on Sunday instead of giving those teams a break. I mean, it's playoff time already, can't we just skip one whole day of rest? πŸ€”πŸ’€ Still, I guess it's gonna be an intense matchup between those two teams - the Bears are looking fierce after that last win, and the Rams have been on fire too! πŸ”₯πŸ’ͺ
 
πŸ€” so i think its kinda weird they're having sunday games after saturdays wins. like isn't that extra rest day already giving those teams an edge? πŸˆπŸ˜’ anyway, im hyped for this game tho! the '85 bears vs the rams is a cool piece of history, and to have them play again 40 years later is awesome πŸŽ‰πŸ‘
 
The NFL is a microcosm of life itself - each team represents a chapter in someone's story, with every win and loss a twist that shapes their journey. These two teams, with their histories and rivalries, are about to collide on the field. Sunday's game will be more than just a contest between two football teams; it'll be a clash of egos, strengths, and weaknesses.

The Bears' incredible comeback against the Packers was like a turning point in their journey - they've got that fire now burning within them. But will it sustain? The Rams, on the other hand, seem to have found their rhythm again after a tough stretch. Can they keep this momentum going?

And what about rest and preparation? It's an interesting paradox - giving teams two days off before playing might just be the opposite of what they need. Are they too comfortable, or are they just getting a much-needed breather before the real challenge begins?
 
I think it's kinda crazy that they're having both teams play on Sunday after just one day of rest 🀯. I mean, you gotta respect the players' bodies and all, but at the same time, you don't want to rush into a game without giving them enough time to get ready πŸ’ͺ. And can you imagine being a Bears fan right now? They've got this huge game coming up and then they're gonna have like 2 more days of practice before facing off against the Rams πŸ•’οΈπŸˆ
