The San Francisco 49ers desperately need to win their matchup against the Los Angeles Rams to keep their playoff hopes alive. This team is confident as Jimmy Garoppolo is expected to be back under center. However, the latest update on Trent Williams and K'Waun Williams puts their postseason lives in jeopardy.

According to Matt Barrows, Trent Williams and K'Waun Williams are both ruled out for Sunday's game. This is not ideal for the 49ers, as Trent Williams is arguably the best left tackle in the league. This spells danger for San Francisco, as the Rams' elite front seven will have an easier time attacking Garoppolo.

Luckily for the 49ers, they have plenty of firepower to make up for these big losses. Deebo Samuel and George Kittle should be in for a big game, while the coaching staff is hopeful for Elijah Mitchell to perform out of the backfield.

This should be an excellent matchup, as everything is at stake for San Francisco. It'll be a tough day without both Trent and K'Waun Williams, but they'll have a fighting chance. The 49ers are bound to run the ball often, as they've lost a ton of pass protection heading into this game.

The Rams have already clinched a spot in the playoffs, but a victory increases their chances of having a better seed in the postseason. They're likely to go out and try to win this game, even though it's not a crucial moment for this franchise. Regardless, all eyes will be on the 49ers as they attempt to force their way into the postseason.
