49ers cornerback had one game immediately circled after 2025 schedule release

Last week, the NFL finally announced the schedule for all 32 teams across the league, letting the franchises themselves and their fans know when their specific matchups will be taking place with the opponents they already knew they’d be taking on.

The San Francisco 49ers are expected to have the easiest schedule in football, according to Warren Sharp, who recently used current Las Vegas betting odds to rank the difficulty of every team’s schedule in 2025.

While San Francisco has some interesting matchups this year, including five that will be in primetime, one has caught the attention of cornerback Deommodore Lenoir.

“That Thursday night Rams game. That’s the one for me,” Lenoir told NBC Sports Bay Area’s Laura Britt earlier this week.  “Really, it’s a division game. They’re like rivals, and they talk a lot. I feel like just for last year we owe them double.”

Los Angeles has beaten San Francisco thrice in a row, outscoring Kyle Shanahan’s team 60-50 in these meetings. The 49ers’ last win against the Rams came in Week 2 of the 2023 season when Christian McCaffrey’s 116 and one touchdown led them to a 30-23 victory.

The recent string of losses in this series has the Rams feeling confident, and Lenoir has heard the noise.

“I do [notice the trash talk],” Lenoir said. “It kind of fueled me during the week. I kind of let my [defensive back] room know what’s going on and how they feel about us and what we’re up against.”

That Thursday night matchup against the Rams this year will be San Francisco’s first big test, and with the Seattle Seahawks, New Orleans Saints, Arizona Cardinals and Jacksonville Jaguars on the schedule for the first four games, there’s a real chance that the 49ers are 4-0 heading into the Week 5 bout.

There will certainly be a lot of talk heading into that game if that’s the case.
