Week 18 was not a must win game for the Los Angeles Rams, but they would have positioned themselves much more favorably for the playoffs could they have defeated the San Francisco 49ers and secured the number two seed in the NFC.

It’s completely possible that the Rams handle the Cardinals next week to right the ship, but for right now the tough loss to San Francisco stings.
