Who are the announcers and referees for the Rams vs. the Bears today?

As September 2024 comes to a close, the LA Rams and Rams fans are more than happy to put this month behind them. After all, the Rams are struggling to find durability and success so far in the early weeks of the new NFL season. And perhaps, as the calendar turns to October, both the team and cheering fans will find more of both in the weeks ahead.

In Week 4, it’s the LA Rams (1-2) visiting the Chicago Bears (1-2). The winner of this game takes a huge step towards getting back on track to salvage their season. The loser of this game falls to a record of 1-3, and will find a much steeper climb to realize any hopes of postseason competition.

This is a game of two nearly opposite teams. The Rams enter with a veteran offense, and a young defense that is trying to find and establish its identity. The Chicago Bears enter with a veteran defense, and a young offense that is trying to find and establish its identity. And with the game being played at 10:00 am PT, you might give the home field advantage nod to the Bears.

Well, windy conditions at Soldier Field may actually work in the Rams favor today. That could prove to be rather important as the game plays on.

It’s Deja Vu all over again. The same crew that covered the Cardinals vs Rams in Week 2 and the Rams vs 49ers in Week 3 is back again. Is the third time the charm? While the Rams certainly played poorly in Week 2, they managed to put up a miraculous victory in Week 3. So perhaps the same broadcast crew can help the team to find another win?

Head Referee: Brad Rogers

The Head Referee in this game is Brad Rogers, a veteran of 6 years of NFL officiating. Rogers crew has been getting plenty of work so far this season. The crew opened the season by calling the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Atlanta Falcons game. In Week 2, they handled the Los Angeles Chargers at Carolina Panthers game. In Week 3, it was off to officiate the Detroit Lions vs. the Arizona Cardinals. This week, the crew must call the LA Rams vs. the Chicago Bears.

While an early start, the LA Rams have to feel a bit more confident in Week 4. After making some strategic changes to both the offense and the defense, the Rams certainly seemed to play a more complete game in Week 3.

Look for similar changes implemented last week t carry over into Week 4. The Rams have many reasons to lean into their 12-personnel package this week, as well as go with a bigger bodied defensive front. I would love to see the team finally get rookie running back Blake Corum involved, if only for one offensive series, and even to use more tight ends in the passing game as legitimate targets.

The Rams need a win this week. But the same can be said of the Chicago Bears. Perhaps in the end, it will come down to which team wants the victory more.

As always, thanks for reading.
