The Los Angeles Rams stayed alive in the NFC West division race and basically eliminated the San Francisco 49ers from playoff contention, winning 12-6 on Thursday Night Football.
Game Summary
According to PFF's noise-canceled score metric, the Rams were the slightly better team in a low-scoring game. Both teams struggled to move the ball, but Los Angeles at least got into short-yardage situations more often, which the offense then converted. This allowed the Rams to move into scoring range just often enough to win the contest.
Passing Summary
It was fitting that the most efficient facet of any passing offense was a third-down scramble from Matthew Stafford, the league's least likely quarterback to scramble this season. It was also fitting that said scramble came on a drive that ended in a punt.
