The @Chiefs have held consecutive opponents without an offensive touchdown for the first time since the 2006 season. Over the last 5 games, Kansas City is allowing 9.6 PPG. That’s the fewest in the NFL over that span.ProFootballReference@pfref
This is currently Lamar Jackson’s 6th game this season with 3+ TDs and 0 INTs.The only QBs to do that six times in a season are Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre, and Tony Romo

Chance to earn the No. 1 seed in the NFC, per FPI:49ers 53%

Packers 10%
Seahawks 9%znModeratorPFF ReFocused: San Francisco 49ers 34, Los Angeles Rams 31
https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-week-16-pff-refocused-san-francisco-49ers-34-los-angeles-rams-31
The 49ers struggled against the Rams’ interior defensive line, and they fared especially poorly against Aaron Donald. Center Ben Garland and right guard Daniel Brunskill seemed to struggle the most against Donald, as they lost several exchanges with him.
The Rams seemed to know that they had a problem on their hands with the 49ers’ defensive front, so they used rollouts and play-action in an attempt to slow the ‘Niners down. This worked for a while, and Jared Goff did make some nice throws, but Goff’s game will be marred by the pick-six that he inexplicably threw to Fred Warner.
Robert Woods was the best offensive player for the Rams on Saturday night. He was effective on many of the Rams’ successful play-action rollouts, and he finished the game with eight catches for 117 yards.
Aaron Donald had another extremely disruptive game against the 49ers. He was a force both rushing the passer and in run defense, and he finished the game with two sacks.
Jalen Ramsey played a part in two turnovers in this game. He made a great play in zone coverage to read Garoppolo’s eyes and come up with an interception. Ramsey also caused another pick when he broke up a pass on a slant pattern and popped the ball into the air for Darious Williams to intercept.

znModeratorThat article actually thinks it’s viable to talk about Rams possibly trading Donald.
…
znModeratorMy vote.
I am just not discouraged by that game. In the 2nd half they fought back and tied it. That’s on the road against the 2nd ranked defense (1st against the pass). Without a running game (72 yards on 24 carries). All they had on offense was the passing game. Yet they fought back and tied it.
SF allowed only one other 300+ yard passing game all season, and that was against New Orleans.
Granted giving up 2 3rd n 16s will go down as one of the worst Rams defensive blunders ever.
But they managed to play a good game on offense (with some bad moments but still–coming back from your own mistakes is a good thing). And that’s with 3 inexperienced injury replacements on the OL against one of the top 5 defensive pressure teams (the Rams achilles heel).
….
znModeratorBased on their contracts, we are stuck with Cooks & Gurley for two more seasons, Havenstein is one more. Don’t have the cap space to sign neither Fowler nor Littleton. One option is to tag one of them, & let the other walk, or let both walk.
Jack they have the cap space to sign one of them (Littleton or Fowler).
And if Hav is traded or let go in the 2020 off-season he would represent some cap savings.

Seahawks fall to Arizona. Doesn’t change much for #49ers next Sunday in Seattle. Niners win or tie would wrap the NFC West division. A win would clinch the No. 1 seed. A tie could mean anything from 1 to 3, pending other results. And, for now, Niners ascend back to No. 1 in NFC.znModeratorAdam Schefter@AdamSchefter

znModeratorTaylor Rapp takes blame for costly blown coverage vs. 49ers
Rapp accepted the blame for blowing the coverage and allowing Sanders to get open, admitting his mistake of not playing over the top to defend the deep pass.
“It’s tough when I could have done a better job of getting over the top,” said Rapp, via the Whittier Daily News. “I was supposed to get over the top a little bit.

It feels like Aaron Donald hasn’t been the human Death Star this season that he’s been in years past, right? Well, he now has 12 (or more) sacks for the second straight season. Do you know how many defensive tackles in NFL history have multiple 12-sack seasons?Six.
Ever.

Higbee’s late-season emergence is showing exactly why the Rams gave him a four-year extension in early September.
With his 104 yards on a team-high nine catches, the former Western Kentucky star posted his fourth consecutive game of 100 or receiving yards.
How rare is the feat Higbee accomplished? He’s only the fourth tight end to do so, according to NFL research, joining Travis Kelce, Jimmy Graham (twice), and Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez.
Not bad company to be in.

The #49ers converted two 3rd down attempts of 15+ yards on their game-winning drive. It’s only the second time in the last 40 seasons that a team converted multiple 3rd or 4th down attempts of 15+ yards on a game-winning drive, per @EliasSportsThe other team: The Cleveland Browns on Nov. 4, 1984.
Before converting the two third-and-16s on the game-winning drive, the #49ers were 0-for-20 on the year on third and 15 or more yards.

znModeratorWhatever is happening with TE Tyler Higbee, I love it. The dude has been invisible for years and suddenly the Rams give him a big contract and he’s still quiet as a church mouse until TE Gerald Everett gets hurt and then… BOOM. Hygz had another dominant performance even with the return of Everett (who had no catches off one target).
Coach Sean McVay called a solid game, putting his players in arms reach of the victory, they just needed to earn it. Losses are never acceptable, but the Rams were playing a very good Niners team and it was encouraging to see McVay coach them up to such a competitive level, which probably made the loss even more heartbreaking.
znModeratorfrom https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2019/12/21/la-rams-49ers-analysis-week-16-score-notes/
Robert Woods and Tyler Higbee have carried the offense in recent weeks, and that was the case on Saturday. They both went over 100 yards receiving, catching 17 passes combined. They’ve clearly become Goff’s favorite targets, especially on the bootlegs to the right side.
The Rams gave up 34 points, but the defense was great until the final drive. Jalen Ramsey was especially good, breaking up two passes, including an interception. Darious Williams more than held his own in his first start, also deflecting one pass and picking off another. On the night, San Francisco only had 334 total yards, 60 of which came on the final drive.
Aaron Donald and Dante Fowler Jr. had strong performances, combining for four sacks, five QB hits and four tackles for loss. The Rams had six sacks as a team with Morgan Fox and Samson Ebukam recording the other two.

Kicker Greg Zuerlein is questionable today. Zuerlein was scheduled to kick yesterday to test that right quad injury. Nothing on NFL transactions regarding Rams signing a kicker yesterday. Could be good indication.Stu Jackson@StuJRams
Based on Sean McVay’s comments this week, and the fact that the Rams didn’t sign a kicker (they would’ve done so yesterday), Zuerlein must’ve showed them enough in yesterday’s workout that they feel comfortable playing him.J.B. Long@JB_Long
