By: Cameron DaSilva

For the second time in as many weeks, the Los Angeles Rams will face a divisional opponent in arguably the most important game of their season. Last week, they lost to the Seattle Seahawks, but they’ll get a chance to bounce back from that defeat against the San Francisco 49ers at home on Sunday.

Somewhat unexpectedly, the 49ers enter this game with a 1.5-game lead over the Rams, boasting the best record in the NFC at 4-0. The Rams have limped to a 3-2 record, losing their last two games.

This isn’t a must-win contest for the Rams, but it’s as close as it gets this early in the season. Here are six things to know about the matchup.

San Francisco ranks second in points per game (31.8), fourth in total offense (427.3 yards), fourth in points per game allowed (14.3) and second in total defense (257.5 yards).
