It happened in a flash.
One long-awaited showdown game, and suddenly everyone knew. The Los Angeles Rams were dethroned, and the San Francsico 49ers are now in charge of the NFC West (as well as top 5 or higher in every NFL power ranking).
Last year, I predicted that Niners vs. Rams would be the division’s big new rivalry going forward. Now I doubt it.
Bye bye, Rams
I hope L.A. sold all the seat licenses they were hoping for, because the dismay among Rams fans is already evident and their future is bleak.
