At first, this looked like it was going to be a rematch from the Black Friday game. The Eagles were hosting the 49ers, with a chance to win with a last-minute touchdown. The 49ers held.

That means the Los Angeles Rams will come to Chicago.

These two teams have played in the playoffs before. Back in January 1986, the Bears hosted the Los Angeles Rams at Solider Field in the NFC Championship Game. Rams' standout running back Eric Dickerson faced off against Samurai Mike Singletary and the Bears' defense. That 1985 Bears' defense led the way as the Bears shutout the Rams 24-0.

Forty years later, the Bears will welcome the Los Angeles Rams again to Soldier Field.

Here are some numbers to know: The Bears are 10-2 against teams outside of the NFC North. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has played in two games where the weather dipped below 50 degrees; in those games, Stafford had a 60 percent completion percentage, 512 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions.

The early forecasts have temperatures dipping below 20 degrees at Soldier Field at game time.

The homefield advantage might help the Bears.
