Rams coach Sean McVay<\/a> and San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan<\/a> know each other \u2014 and each other\u2019s schematic and play-calling tendencies \u2014 better than perhaps any two coaches in the NFL.<\/p>\n

Close games between the teams are a constant.<\/p>\n

Since they first squared off in 2017, nearly half of their 18 matchups have been decided by three points or fewer, including the 49ers\u2019 26-23 overtime victory<\/a> on Oct. 2 at SoFi Stadium<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So expect another game that could come down to the final possession when the Rams<\/a> play the 49ers in an NFC West game at Levi\u2019s Stadium in Santa Clara.<\/p>\n

Gary Klein breaks down what you need to know for Sunday\u2019s matchup between the Rams and San Francisco 49ers at Levi\u2019s Stadium in Santa Clara.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo good teams with two good staffs that are familiar with each other,\u201d Rams tight end Tyler Higbee said in explaining the tight nature of the matchup, \u201cand then you throw the rivalry part into it.\u201d<\/p>\n

McVay is 7-11 against Shanahan, his former mentor, though the Rams had won three in a row before the Week 5 loss that ended when 49ers star linebacker Fred Warner stopped Kyren Williams<\/a> on a fourth-and-one play at the 49ers\u2019 11-yard line.<\/p>\n

Rams kicker Joshua Karty missed a 53-yard field goal attempt and had an extra-point attempt blocked in the defeat.<\/p>\n

The Rams this week moved to improve their season-long kicking-game issues by signing rookie kicker Harrison Mevis<\/a> and veteran long snapper Jake McQuaide to the practice squad. Both will be elevated to the roster and play on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Mevis, 23, made 89 of 106 field-goal attempts at Missouri, including one from 61 yards. In the United Football League this past season, he made 20 of 21 field-goal attempts.<\/p>\n

The 49ers wasted no time addressing their own kicking-game issues.<\/p>\n

After a season-opening defeat that included a missed field goal and a blocked kick, they released Jake Moody and signed Eddy Pineiro.<\/p>\n

Pineiro has made all 19 of his field-goal attempts and 14 of 15 extra points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"p]:text-cms-story-body-color-text clearfix”> Rams coach Sean McVay and San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan know each other \u2014 and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":44092,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[11856,3557,7,29260,27623,11489,2612,8062,11706,10947,101,27628,103,102,29261,104,106,105,5712,315,430],"class_list":["post-44091","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-49er","tag-am","tag-california","tag-close-game","tag-field-goal-attempt","tag-knee","tag-oct","tag-prediction","tag-ram","tag-rams","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-49er","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-season-long-kicking-game-issue","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news","tag-sofi-stadium","tag-time","tag-week"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44091","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44091"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44091\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44092"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44091"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44091"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44091"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
