USAT: Rams Wire

Jan 28, 2022

I’m going to sound like a broken record by saying it but the Los Angeles Rams have lost six straight games to the San Francisco 49ers entering Sunday’s NFC Championship game. Even when the Rams jumped out to a 17-3 lead in the first half in Week 18, the 49ers were able to storm back and win the game in overtime by the score of 27-24. - Besides preventing them from securing the No. 2 seed in the NFC, San Francisco ended Sean McVay’s streak of winning games when leading at halftime. McVay had won 45 consecutive games when leading at halftime before Los Angeles’ second-half collapse in Week 18. - Despite the recent woes against their division rivals, McVay made it clear that Kyle Shanahan isn’t in his head. After being able to knock out Tom Brady and the reigning Super Bowl champions in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week (albeit, they made it more interesting than it needed to be), the Rams should have some confidence entering Sunday’s contest. - With one more game deciding who represents the NFC in the Super Bowl, here are four players to watch from the Rams in their upcoming tilt with the 49ers.
