Davante Adams was ruled down by contact on a crucial catch in the Rams' 20-17 overtime win against the Bears.

## What happened?

The play occurred early in the fourth quarter with the Bears and Rams tied at 10.

Adams went down with the ball, but it ended up in the hands of Bears defensive back Tyrique Stevenson.

## Why it matters for Davante Adams

The ruling sparked memories of the Bills' playoff controversy one day prior.

A Josh Allen pass intended for Brandin Cooks was ruled an interception, despite speculation that Cooks was already down.

NFL rules analyst Terry McAulay said the refs made the right call on Adams.

## What comes next?

The Rams will face the Seahawks in the NFC Championship next weekend.

Adams finished the night with 2 receptions for 24 yards on 6 targets.

The fallout from Saturday's game is still ongoing for Buffalo, with the team firing coach Sean McDermott on Monday.

And the NFL officials' consistency is under scrutiny.

But McAulay believes the refs got it right.

So the focus shifts to the upcoming NFC Championship.

The Rams' cross-country playoff tour will take them to Seattle.

Davante Adams will look to make a bigger impact in the next game.

With the Rams seeking to advance to the Super Bowl, Adams' performance will be crucial.
