The San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams meet Thursday night in an NFC West clash that is crucial to each team’s playoff hopes.
If the postseason started today, neither team would be on the field. The Seattle Seahawks (8-5) are in control of the division, while the Rams (7-6) and 49ers (6-7) are on the outside looking in at the NFC wild card picture. A loss on Thursday would deal a critical blow to the Rams’ postseason hopes and all but knock the 49ers out of contention. The stakes are significant.
Both teams are coming off impressive wins. The 49ers snapped a three-game losing streak with a dominant 38-13 victory over the Bears on Sunday and looked like the reigning NFC champions for the first time in a long time. They will play without left tackle Trent Williams and with a depleted backroom missing Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that RB Isaac Guerendo scheduled to play Thursday, while THE is Nick Bosa probably play if he feels good before the match.
The Rams are coming off one of the best wins of the NFL season, a 44-42 thriller over the Bills over six total touchdowns from Josh Allen. Which versions of the Rams and 49ers will appear on Thursday?
