The Los Angeles Rams have had their share of struggles against the San Francisco 49ers on the road and will look to undo recent history on Monday night. In a matchup of NFC West titans, this game has all the makings of an instant classic, and the Rams’ chances of success hinge on one factor in particular; their ability to contain the 49ers’ running game.
San Francisco brings an extra fold into this aspect of their offense with wide receiver Deebo Samuel playing a huge part in keeping defenses honest when he steps on the field. Samuel’s dual role as a rushing and receiving threat will be hard for Los Angeles to contain, but head coach Sean McVay told reporters on Thursday that he hopes linebacker Bobby Wagner will be able to make a big difference in their attempt to limit yardage on the ground.
