More from Variety
The Los Angeles team, who has lost to San Francisco six times in a row dating back to 2018, will play the 49ers during the playoff match this Sunday. The pivotal NFC Championship Game will be the Rams’ chance to redeem themselves and punch their ticket to the Super Bowl.
The game will broadcast live on Jan. 30 at 3:30 p.m. PT on Fox, but there are plenty of ways to live stream the game online if you don’t have cable, thanks to platforms such as Fubo TV and ESPN Plus.
The Rams face stiff competition, considering that the 49ers’ Jimmy Garropolo boasts a six-game winning streak against them. He beat Los Angeles in 2017, going on to start five of their six winning games in 2019. However, the close Week 18 game is proof enough that the Rams have a shot at success this weekend. If they had picked up a first down after the 49ers punted back to them with only two minutes left in the game, Los Angeles could’ve taken home the win. The Rams are also at an advantage given the 49ers’ struggling red zone offense in recent weeks.
