The 49ers are still alive for the NFL playoffs, although their chances are high.

They play the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night and have a chance to improve those odds by picking up a division win and eliminating an NFC West opponent.

To do so, they will have to overcome a minor internal problem after team captain Deebo Samuel tweeted and deleted a message on Monday saying they weren’t getting enough ball, a day after the 49ers dispatched the Bears. He admitted Tuesday that he was a little frustrated after recording just two catches and five runs in the win.
