If I told you the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers played out a game in which the Rams were dominated in the trenches looking nothing like a team that could compete with San Fran, you should have believed me. It’s exactly what happened.
But a bit more than two months later, the teams met again. And while the 49ers continued to set their pace toward a potential #1 overall seed in the NFC, the Rams rode the ups and downs of inconsistent play en route to being on the outside looking in toward the playoff picture.
