There’s one more game for the San Francisco 49ers this season: a Week 17 bout on the road with their NFC West division rivals, the playoff-bound Los Angeles Rams.
Plenty of storylines exist, of course. Which young Niners wind up impressing head coach Kyle Shanahan and Co. en route to what promises to be a crucial offseason? Can San Francisco continue its recent trend of playing spoiler? Will Rams head coach Sean McVay’s high-flying defense embarrass coordinator Robert Saleh’s defense much like it did back in Week 7, 39-10?
And then, of course, there’s the pecking order for the 2019 NFL Draft.
