The Rams have an opportunity on Sunday to not only snap their five-game losing streak to the 49ers, but also clinch the NFC West and the No. 2 seed in the conference. San Francisco has owned the Rams in the last three years, but Los Angeles can change its fortune this weekend by beating the 49ers at home.
This Week 18 matchup carries major playoff implications for both teams, with the 49ers in danger of missing the postseason if they lose. Even though it didn’t get flexed into a prime-time slot, this is one of the biggest games of the week.
Here are six stats and facts to know for Rams-49ers on Sunday.

49ers seeking first 6-game winning streak vs. Rams since 1990-1998
You’ve probably heard by now that the 49ers have had the Rams’ number. They’ve won five straight against Los Angeles, with three of those wins coming by at least eight points. The Rams’ most recent loss to the 49ers was in Week 10, an embarrassing 31-10 defeat at Levi’s Stadium.
If the 49ers manage to beat the Rams again on Sunday, it’ll be their first six-game winning streak against the Rams since winning 17 in a row from 1990-1998. The Rams hope their losing streak to the 49ers ends on Sunday, well short of that unbelievable stretch during the ‘90s.
