Rams vs. 49ers: Photos & Press Conference Highlights from Niners 23-13 Win
With the San Francisco 49ers’ 23-13 over their divisional rivals the St. Louis Rams on Sunday the team currently sits in second place in the NFC West. San Francisco also has the NFC’s fourth-best record with the last quarter of the season to be played.
The Niners moved one game ahead of the third-place Arizona Cardinals (7-5) in the division, who lost yesterday to the Philadelphia Eagles. However, the 49ers are 2 ½ games behind the first place Seattle Seahawks. I am going to go out on a limb and say the 49ers Faithful will all be rooting for the Saints to win tonight. Currently, San Francisco is the 6th of the playoffs.
San Francisco won the season series against St. Louis, outscoring them 58-24 in the two meetings. Now on a two-game winning streak the Niners are headed into their most important game of the season in Week 13, against the first place Seahawks.
