Matt Stafford bested Tom Brady a week ago. Can he do the same against the GOAT’s old penmate, Jimmy Garoppolo? Or should that be Deebo Samuel?
The Niners’ victory over the Packers wasn’t pretty, with awful special teams errors from Green Bay essentially handing San Fran a win, but Samuel was immense, stepping up to become the undisputed main man.
Stafford threw four interceptions and was sacked seven times across two miserable games against the 49ers this season, and the Rams will be hoping that alll of the speculation about Jimmy G’s future could be enough to tempt him into trying to prove his worth in what may be his final dance for the franchise. If that happens, Von Miller and Aaron Donald could have a field day.
There are intriguing subplots aplenty, not least the crowd situation (silent count, anyone?) and Los Angeles’ dream of playing a home Super Bowl, so follow our guide on how to watch the 49ers vs Rams online and get an NFL live stream wherever you are in the world right now.

How to watch 49ers vs Rams from outside the US
If you’ve mismatched a holiday or you’re away on business and you want to watch your country’s coverage from abroad, then you’ll need to use a VPN. This will help you dial in to a location back in your home country to avoid geo-blocks and regain access to the content and services you already pay for back home.
A VPN is generally perfect for this as it allows you to change your IP address so you appear to be in a completely different location when the big game is on.
