Needing a victory to clinch the NFC No. 2 seed and the bye that goes with it, the Los Angeles Rams took care of business on Sunday.
With the Rams' win at home over the 49ers on Sunday, the NFC West champions will go into the playoffs as the second seed behind the No. 1 New Orleans Saints and will rest up during the opening week of the postseason.
A preseason Super Bowl favorite and one of the top teams in the league seemingly throughout the season, the Rams (13-3) were dealt back-to-back losses to the Bears in Week 14 and the Eagles in Week 15 and had Chicago nipping at their heels for the second seed. But even without standout running back Todd Gurley, the Rams got past the 49ers.
