On Sunday, both the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams left Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with what they came for in Week 17.
Head coach Sean McVay’s Rams capped off a tumultuous month of December with a commanding victory that secured the NFC West champs a much-needed first round bye in the playoffs. While a bye is essential for any NFL team planning a deep playoff run, it holds extra value for Los Angeles, as the team can now expect star running back Todd Gurley to be back in top form after his two-week injury absence.
