The San Francisco 49ers are fighting to stay alive in the NFC playoff race heading into a massive Week 10 showdown with the Los Angeles Rams. After escaping with a 26-24 win in Week 5, the Niners (6-3) now face a Rams team that’s red-hot, healthy, and tied for first in the NFC West.
In this episode, Sterling Bennett breaks down every angle of this divisional battle — including why the 49ers can hold off the Rams, and the glaring reasons they could drop to 6-4.
We’ll cover:
Full injury updates on Brock Purdy, Ricky Pearsall, Brandon Aiyuk, and Bryce Huff’s expected return.
How the 49ers’ offensive line upgrades could impact Mac Jones and the run game against a Rams defense allowing 4.4 yards per carry.
Why the Rams’ recent winning streak might be misleading — and how George Kittle, Christian McCaffrey, and the 49ers’ physical style can expose LA’s secondary.
Defensive matchups: Can Dee Winters and Tatum Bethune contain Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, and Davante Adams?
Key stats on red zone efficiency, special teams, and what could swing this game in crunch time.
The Rams come in healthy, dangerous, and averaging over 25 points per game — while the 49ers limp in with a long list of injuries. But as the saying goes: Any Given Sunday.
