It wasn't a big deal at the time, but Curl has turned into one of the team's most reliable safeties. He tallied two interceptions in the regular season and added two sacks and a career-best 122 combined tackles before making an overtime interception against the Chicago Bears to help set up the Rams for a game-winning touchdown in the divisional round.

He recounted to Kay Adams this week that Rams head coach Sean McVay recruited Curl by promising to "unlock all the abilities" that he hadn't been able to utilize during his time with the Commanders."He believed in me when nobody else did," Curl said.
