Rams’ Kyren Williams claps back at detractors after wild win vs. Bears

Kyren Williams sent a clear message to the doubters after helping the Los Angeles Rams beat the Chicago Bears 20-17 in the NFC Divisional Round on Sunday night.

Williams is going through the fourth season of his NFL career with the Rams. He has shined as the team’s top running back for the third consecutive year, standing out as an effective threat in the red zone.

The young running back shined once again in a big contest against Chicago on the road. He racked up 21 of the team’s 31 carries for 87 yards and two touchdowns while making four catches for 30 yards.

Williams reflected on the win after the game, via SportsCenter. He remarked how some fans doubted whether Los Angeles would win in the cold weather atmosphere, showing how the squad persevered with that difficulty.

“It started with the weather and everybody talking about ‘the Rams can’t come play in the cold.’ … We’re built for anything that comes our way,” Williams said.
