The 49ers will always hold a special place in the heart of Rams coach Sean McVay, even if he has to try to beat them twice a year.
McVay, after all, is the grandson to San Francisco’s former general manager John McVay, who worked closely with Bill Walsh to assemble some of the greatest NFL teams in history. John has rings from all five of the 49ers’ championships, including the team’s most recent title in 1994, which Sean remembers fondly.
“I had Deion (Sanders’) jersey in ’94 when he won Defensive Player of the Year the year they won the Super Bowl,” said Sean McVay in a conference call with reporters this week.
