The 49ers host the Rams for a Thursday Night Football showdown in Week 15, and here's how fans can tune in live.
It's weird to think, but the Los Angeles Rams actually hold a two-game win streak over the San Francisco 49ers, one that includes the first bout this season between the two NFC West rivals back in Week 3 but also last year's regular-season finale in which the Niners were fielding their backups after securing the No. 1 seed in the NFC by that point.
Week 15's matchup carries an entirely different context.
Both San Francisco and LA are clinging to desperate playoff hopes, and a much-needed in-division win would give both squads a better chance of clinching the NFC West, currently held by the 7-6 Seattle Seahawks.
The 49ers hope to carry momentum over from their previous victory against the Chicago Bears, and the historical matchup against Los Angeles suggests head coach Kyle Shanahan's squad can get back on track when the two teams face each other on Thursday Night Football.
The primetime affair, which kicks off on Thursday, Dec. 12 at 8:15 p.m. ET from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, won't be broadcast nationally on television.
But there are a number of ways fans can tune in live.
