Rams' win over 49ers propels them closer to top of NFC West

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Rams' 12-6 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night propelled them closer to the top of the NFC West and a playoff spot.

The Rams entered the game with a 35% chance to make the playoffs and a 32% chance to win the division, according to ESPN Analytics. Those figures went up significantly after the victory: The Rams' playoff chances now sit as 52% and 49% respectively entering the weekend.

And perhaps most importantly, the Rams continue to control their own destiny with three games remaining.
