An inside look at Sunday’s Rams-49ers NFC Championship game in Los Angeles:
What an incredible story it was when Rams running back Cam Akers — who tore an Achilles tendon in July — shattered the expected recovery timeline for such an injury by making his season debut in Week 18. Akers led the Rams in carries in each of the first two playoff games and wasn’t benched for losing two fumbles — one at the goal line — against the Buccaneers.
“Sometimes if you’ve got the right kind of guys — like I have no doubt in my mind Cam is — it can just kind of continue to lock you back in,” McVay said of the fumbles. “You can be able to learn a lesson, but not the hard way where we’re not playing anymore.
Williams was injured later in the game and held back in practice. If he plays, as expected, watch out for the locomotive.One of the Rams’ motivations is to win a Super Bowl for Aaron Donald, the future Hall of Famer. Donald had five tackles and one quarterback hit when the Rams lost to the Patriots in Super Bowl LIII.
