In every season for every NFL team, there are forks in the road. There are inflection points where a team can either rise up and overcome adversity or shrink from the moment and slide into irrelevance. For the 49ers, that point may well prove to be the game against the Rams on Monday Night Football. With their backs against the wall, the 49ers (and particularly their defense) came out with an intensity not previously seen this season. Afterward, we found out that Jimmie Ward, Arik Armstead, and Fred Warner held a players-only meeting with the defense the day before the game.
