Last Updated: 08/08/2019 at 6:16 AM ET

The San Francisco 49ers will look to bounce back from defeat when they visit the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday for the final game of the regular season for both. The 49ers were defeated in Week 16 by the Chicago Bears 14-9. 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman was ejected from the game for fighting as were two Bears players.

Los Angeles is 12-3 on the season following its 31-9 win over the Arizona Cardinals. C.J. Anderson playing just five days after being signed by the Rams to fill in for injured Todd Gurley II, rushed for 167 yards helping the Rams snap a two-game skid.
San Francisco quarterback Nick Mullens has 1,995 yards passing, 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions. The leading rusher for the 49ers is Matt Breida with 814 yards and three touchdowns. George Kittle leads the 49ers in receiving with 1,228 yards and four touchdowns. Fred Warner leads the defense in tackles with 109 and Deforest Buckner is the sacks leader with 12.0.

Rams quarterback Jared Goff has thrown for 4,489 yards, 28 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. The leading rusher is Todd Gurley with 1,251 yards and 17 touchdowns. Robert Woods leads all Rams receivers with 1,196 yards and six touchdowns. On defense, Cory Littleton is the leading tackler with 121, while Aaron Donald leads in sacks with 19.5.

The 49ers have covered 5 of the last 6 meetings with the Rams and 4 of the last 5 played in Los Angeles. The 49ers are 4-11 on the season but will play hard until the final whistle. The Rams have clinched the No. 2 spot in the NFC playoffs and although will play regulars the desire to win will not be the same as they cannot catch New Orleans for the top seed in the NFC. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Rams win but fall short ATS 27-21.
