49ers RedZone: Breaking down 49ers vs. Rams
By Rohan Chakravarthi
Jan 11
The 49ers defeated the Rams 27-24 to get into the NFC Playoffs and will face off the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Wildcard round on Sunday.
Join Co-hosts Marco Martinez and Rohan Chakravarthi as they break down Sunday's matchup, including Jimmy Garoppolo's play, Ambry Thomas, the coaching staff and
Aaron Donald knows who Deebo Samuel is, and other things the Rams said about the 49ers this week
When Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald was asked about stopping wide receiver Deebo Samuel after a loss to the 49ers in 2020, Donald gave an answer that was perceived as disrespect.
"Who? Who's that?" Donald said.
Donald was asked about Samuel again this week and gave a similar answer, albeit more tongue-in-cheek this time.
"Who's that?" Donald said with a laugh.
Donald then talked a bit about what to expect from Samuel, who had 97 yards and a touchdown on five catches along with five carries for 36 yards and a touchdown in a 31-10 win over the Rams on November 15.
"They move him around everywhere," Donald said. "So he's in the backfield, they do
49ers-Rams: Roster moves suggest Jimmy Garoppolo will be active, possibly start
On Saturday, the San Francisco 49ers made several roster moves, activating four defensive backs from either injured reserve or the reserve/COVID-19 list. The team also activated a cornerback from the practice squad.
One name was absent from the list of roster moves—Nate Sudfeld. The practice squad quarterback was among the players protected this past week. He won't be active on Sunday, and it is unlikely the 49ers plan to carry just one quarterback into the playoff-impacting Week 18 matchup. That means San Francisco feels confident that Jimmy Garoppolo can play against the Los Angeles Rams and possibly even start. Rookie Trey Lance will be the team's other active
Why Brian Baldinger predicts 49ers beat Rams in Week 18
The San Francisco 49ers hope to extend their winning streak against the Los Angeles Rams to six games on Sunday. A victory would clinch a playoff berth for Kyle Shanahan's squad. However, a loss paired with a New Orleans Saints win would end its 2021 campaign.
Respected NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger not only expects the Niners to start quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, but he predicts the 49ers will beat the Rams again.
"I've got the 49ers winning 27-24," Baldinger told 95.7 The Game's Damon Bruce and Ray Ratto. "… I'm going with the 49ers."
The home-team Rams are currently 3.5-point favorites in the playoff-impacting Week 18 clash between the NFC West rivals. Yet, Baldinger sounds pretty confident in Shanahan, Garoppolo, and the
