On Thursday, the Los Angeles Rams hope to bounce back from their Week 2 loss to the Washington Redskins with a NFC West showdown against the San Francisco 49ers. And even though the Rams lost both meetings against their rivals in 2016, it’s safe to say both teams are in completely different situations this time around.
While Los Angeles made a bold move by making Sean McVay the youngest head coach in NFL history during the offseason, San Francisco was able to land former Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. Even though it’s still early in their head coaching careers, both McVay and Shanahan seem to have a ton of potential with their new positions, which could make this division rivalry even more exciting over the next couple of years.
