The Rams' thrilling 12-6 win not only lifted their playoff aspirations to nearly 50% but also significantly dampened the 49ers' chances, potentially dooming their season.
According to NFL Next Gen Stats, the Rams were sitting at a dismal 1-4 earlier in the season before this victory significantly boosted their playoff odds.
The ramifications of the Rams' crucial win extended beyond their own team, as the Packers' playoff hopes also dimmed, needing circumstances to change for a berth.
The 49ers' loss places them in a precarious position where they could be eliminated from the playoffs should the Seahawks secure a win against the Packers.
