6 takeaways from Rams’ crushing loss to 49ers

The Rams showed some cracks in their armor against the 49ers on Sunday. Here’s what we learned from their overtime loss.

Rams fans were sent home extremely disappointed on Sunday afternoon after their team blew a 17-point lead to the 49ers, who have now won six games in a row against Los Angeles. The end result? A 27-24 loss in overtime.

It was a stunning and heartbreaking defeat to end the season, dropping the Rams to the No. 4 seed in the NFC. They now have to face the Cardinals in the wild-card round, which is a difficult matchup – even if it is at home.

Sunday’s loss told us a lot about the Rams as they enter the playoffs, setting off some alarms with regards to both the offense and defense ahead of next Monday night’s game against the Cardinals.
