The game had major playoff implications for both teams as the season enters its final weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the rainy, wet conditions that contributed to a sluggish performance from both sides, it was\u00a0Sean McVay\u00a0and the Rams who pulled out a gritty 12-6 victory\u2014a game that saw no touchdowns scored, despite the offensive firepower on both teams.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\" data-zone-count=\"4\">\n<div class=\"not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-placeholder\">\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-fa4e0fe0bf6d4784bf0371ae2b828762\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/athlonsports.com\/nfl_2__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>With the win, Los Angeles improved to 8-6 on the season, while the 49ers now find themselves in a precarious position at 6-8, with just three games remaining and their playoff hopes hanging by a thread.<\/p>\n<p>Still, there was mutual respect between McVay and Shanahan, who have a long history together dating back to their days in Washington. The two coaches share a strong bond, and their friendship was evident after a game that certainly didn\u2019t unfold as either had envisioned.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\" data-zone-count=\"4\">\n<div class=\"not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-placeholder\">\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-6ce418287d8841e98369e142c4508b00\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/athlonsports.com\/nfl_6__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Check out McVay and Shanahan&#8217;s interaction:<\/p>\n<p>Both are products of the highly talented 2013 coaching staff in Washington, which also included Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel and Packers head coach Matt LaFleur.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\" data-zone-count=\"4\">\n<div class=\"not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-placeholder\">\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-51216cfb17794f7da1e18ad9cd46d946\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/athlonsports.com\/nfl_7__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>However, McVay\u2019s team seems to be catching their stride at the right time.
