Harrison Mevis has officially etched his name into Rams lore - and he did it with ice in his veins.
The 23-year-old kicker delivered in the biggest moment of his young NFL career, drilling a 42-yard field goal in overtime to lift the Rams past the Bears and into the NFC Championship Game. It was a walk-off moment that capped off a dramatic finish, one that began with Kamren Curl’s clutch interception of Caleb Williams to set up the game-winner.
Mevis, signed by the Rams back in November amid ongoing struggles from Joshua Karty, has been nothing short of automatic ever since. He went 12-of-13 on field goal attempts during the regular season and knocked through all 39 of his extra points. That consistency has carried over into the postseason, where he remains perfect - and now he’s a major reason why the Rams are one win away from a Super Bowl appearance.
After the game, Mevis joined Melissa Stark for a postgame interview, and let’s just say emotions were running high. In the heat of the moment, Mevis dropped a mild expletive - a slip that NBC tried to cover up in real time with a bizarre audio overlay that sounded more like a technical glitch than a censorship tool. The moment quickly made the rounds on social media, with fans wondering what exactly they had just heard.
But beyond the awkward audio, the story here is Mevis’ rise from midseason signing to postseason hero. Kicking in the NFL is often a thankless job - you’re expected to be perfect, and the spotlight only finds you when the game is on the line.
Mevis has embraced that pressure. He’s stepped into a high-stakes role and delivered with the poise of a veteran, not a first-year kicker finding his footing.
Now, the Rams are heading to Seattle for the NFC Championship Game, and Mevis is riding a wave of confidence. For a team that’s leaned on its defense and timely playmaking all year, having a kicker they can trust from 40-plus yards out is a massive asset.
The Rams’ playoff run has been defined by clutch performances, and Mevis just added his name to that list. If he keeps this up, he might just kick them all the way to the Super Bowl.
