49ers, Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams

Kyle Shanahan spoke to Matt Maiocco on "49ers Game Plan" about how he views the San Francisco 49ers' final three regular-season games.
The Rams have to win out. If the Rams drop one game, it would be impossible for them to retake the number one seed. The good news that that the team is mad as can be right now and they play the Atlanta Falcons and Arizona Cardinals to end the season.
San Francisco would have a better chance at the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs if Seattle can pull off the victory at home.

Why 49ers won on Thursday night despite not playing until Monday
The San Francisco 49ers won't play their Week 16 game until Monday night, but they've already benefitted from a massive game on Thursday night.
The Seahawks were the big winners on Thursday night, moving to 12-3 and opening up a one-game lead over the 11-4 Rams for the NFC West title and the No. 1 seed in the conference.
Rams pursue NFC West title with Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua leading offense under Sean McVay's playoff strategy with three weeks remaining.
A lot of the 49ers' biggest contributors weren't on the team last year. Heck, some of them weren't even on the team in Week 1.
ESPN’s computer model gives the Rams a 27.9 percent chance of winning the NFC West following Thursday’s loss. The Seahawks are now at 49.8 percent, though they have a demanding remaining schedule with road games against the Carolina Panthers and San Francisco 49ers.
