The Los Angeles Rams<\/a>‘ 2025 schedule could go in a variety of directions. While the Rams have a lot of marquee matchups on the docket, it’s up to the NFL when in the schedule they’ll be played.<\/p>\n

There will be three games on Christmas Day once again, and FOX Sports’ David Helman<\/a> hopes one of them will feature the Rams against the San Francisco 49ers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ll say it again: Every big holiday should include at least one division rivalry, and this is one of the best,” Helman wrote. “Nine of the past 12 Niners\/Rams games have been decided by one possession, and both teams should be in contention to win the NFC West in 2025. Another bonus is that, by playing this game at SoFi Stadium in L.A., we\u2019ll be guaranteed at least one Christmas game that isn\u2019t affected by winter weather.”<\/p>\n

Pitting the two bitter NFC West foes against each other on Christmas would be quiet the spectacle, especially given how late in the NFL season it would be, too. Unless catastrophe strikes either team \u2014 like it did for the 49ers in 2024 \u2014 this game could play a role in who wins the division as well as the NFC playoff seeds.<\/p>\n

If this comes to pass, it’ll also be the first time the Rams have played on Christmas since L.A. demolished the Denver Broncos<\/a> at home, 51-14, in 2022. That game was on a Sunday, though, while Christmas is on a Thursday in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Los Angeles Rams‘ 2025 schedule could go in a variety of directions.
