The 49ers' win over the Rams Saturday night sure was exciting, but it didn't change much in the playoff picture.
San Francisco required some late heroics from Robbie Gould to get by Los Angeles, and in doing so, regained the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC, at least for the time being.
With their 34-31 win over the Rams, the 49ers improved to 12-3 with one game remaining on their regular-season schedule. That will amount to a winner-take-all contest for the NFC West when San Francisco travels to Seattle to face the Seahawks in Week 17.
