The 49ers defense put together a fine game against the Falcons despite missing a slew of starters. They couldn’t close the door though and allowed a game-winning touchdown with two seconds left following a 70-yard drive to end the game.

San Francisco will get two of its defensive starters back against the Rams. That’ll help with some of the breakdowns they had in the back end, but with a playoff spot locked up, the 49ers would love to see their defense rekindle some of the dominance they had early in the year.

Here are six players who can help San Francisco limit the Rams the same way they did back in Week 6:

SS Marcell Harris

Harris had a better showing in Week 15 than he did in Week 14 as a starter for the injured Jaquiski Tartt. However, the Rams are a completely different test offensively than the Falcons. Harris is extremely aggressive and subject to biting on fakes and losing eye discipline. If he can leave the Rams’ pre-snap window dressing alone, he can have a significant impact against a dynamic Rams group of pass catchers.
