It’s do or die time for St Louis, who find themselves sitting bottom of the extremely tough NFC West division at 1-3 ahead of this clash with divisional rivals San Francisco.
A couple of tight losses in their last two outings – including a 34-31 loss to the Cowboys after leading 21-0 – haven’t helped their cause but one trend that hasn’t escaped our attention is their shoddy defence. The Rams rank 30th in the NFL defensively this season, having given up more than 30 points in three of their four outings.
While the 49ers have had their struggles in the red zone, their running offense has been red hot, ranking third in the league, and this is where they will look to take advantage of the leaky Rams defence. They should have enough class to get the job done.
