The history of the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers has been one of the most bitter rivalries in the NFL since 2017. These two teams seem to bring their best competitiveness to face one another in showdowns that inevitably determine the winner of the NFC West. And it's a rivalry that seems to bring out the best and worst of fans.
But that's what NFL rivalries are all about.
The rivalry seems to have a huge effect on players as well. Injured players, particularly those on the Niners roster, seem to heal up just in time to face Los Angeles and play as though they are fresh as daisies.
