The San Francisco 49ers are looking for revenge against the Los Angeles Rams, who managed to snatch a victory from them earlier this season despite trailing by double digits. With improved health, especially along the offensive line, the Rams have been playing better lately, but their overall point differential is still negative. In their previous matchup, the 49ers led for most of the game but crumbled in the fourth quarter. This time around, the team is hoping for a different outcome.
Coach Kyle Shanahan has been emphasizing the need for desperation and high expectations from his players. He's also likely to rely more on passing plays, given the team's recent injuries to their running backs. The Rams, on the other hand, have shown a strong offensive performance, but some of their recent success has been a bit of an anomaly. The 49ers' defense, which has been solid against short passes, might have an edge if the Rams' key receivers aren't at full strength.
The weather could also play a role in the game, with a chance of rain and wind. Brock Purdy, the 49ers' quarterback, has been passing well, and the team has a good chance of scoring points. However, the game might hinge on whether the 49ers can contain the Rams' offense and turn pressure into turnovers. With a healthy offensive line, the Rams are a formidable opponent, but the 49ers' pass rush has historically given them trouble.
