A season after playing in Super Bowl LIII, the Los Angeles Rams will not appear in the postseason after a dramatic defeat to the San Fransisco 49ers ended their playoff hopes.

The Rams were eliminated after losing to a last-second field goal to go down 34-31 at Levi's Stadium.

The win means the 49ers still have a chance of earning the top overall seed in the NFC, while the Rams become only the second team since 2009 to lose the Super Bowl and then miss the playoffs the following season

After winning back-to-back division titles, this is the first time in Sean McVay's three seasons as coach that the Rams have failed to earn a playoff berth.

Jimmy Garoppolo connected with Emmanuel Sanders for 46 yards on 3rd-and-16 in the final minute to set up the game-winning 33-yard field goal by Robbie Gould.

The 49ers have climbed back above the Seattle Seahawks (11-3) in the division while the Rams elimination means the Minnesota Vikings' playoff spot was secured.

The Seahawks face the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday before meeting the 49ers next week

The downfall of the Rams is pretty significant. There are now questions about their coach and quarterback. Things are going to change in Los Angeles.
