The victor of this showdown will skyrocket up the playoff ladder, while the defeated squad will be staring at a steep uphill battle.

For the Rams, this game carries extra weight, as their hopes of toppling the scorching 49ers in the NFC West have gone up in smoke. The Wild Card now stands as their sole gateway to postseason glory. On the flip side, the Saints find themselves in a deadlock at the summit of the rather uneventful NFC South with the Buccaneers, making every down crucial in their quest for divisional dominance.
