If these windy conditions hold up throughout the ‘Thursday Night Football’ clash, then let’s just say that Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay should be ready to bring out their best fourth-down play calls. Because it’d be quite cruel to call upon your kickers to try booting the ball through those conditions.

Tonight’s clash marks the final meeting in the season series between the 49ers and Rams, who also met at SoFi Stadium back in Week 3. Joshua Karty kicked the game-winning field goal to help the Rams secure a 27-24 upset victory.

Plenty At Stake For Rams-49ers ‘Thursday Night Football’ Clash

If the 49ers fall to the Rams tonight, their postseason hopes will be all but over. A loss would put them three games behind Los Angeles, who would secure the head-to-head tiebreaker with a season-series sweep.

But if the 49ers win and the Seahawks fall to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, San Francisco would now be just one game out with three weeks to go.

For the Rams, a victory and a Seattle loss would put them in a two-way tie for first in the NFC West, with the two clubs set to clash again at SoFi Stadium in Week 18.
