This Sunday the San Francisco 49ers will face the Los Angeles Rams to close out the 2018 NFL season. The last time the Rams did anything that held immediate effect on the 49ers was back in 2010, because the two were fighting for a playoff spot in the NFC West. Why do I bring this up? Because that game was played on December 26th.
It was also the day the 49ers fired Mike Singletary.
Singletary came in as an interim coach for Mike Nolan who was let go of in 2008 season. After he proclaimed he wanted winners, the 49ers appeared rejuvenated, finishing the remaining set of games at 5-4 (7-9, when factoring the entire season in).
