Division rivalries often make for fun regular-season matchups. In the playoffs, they can create bitter clashes. When the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams face off this weekend, with a trip to Super Bowl LVI on the line, it could be an absolute epic.
There should be no love lost between these two NFC hopefuls, as the 49ers and Rams have faced off twice a year since 1950, both have played in the Super Bowl recently, and the 49ers have won six straight against their rivals.
Given the importance of the matchup, we can expect a high level of intensity throughout the contest.
