The San Francisco 49ers are struggling with a 5-5 record after a last-second loss to the Seattle Seahawks, raising concerns about team dynamics. The Los Angeles Rams, who started 1-4, are now tied with the 49ers in the NFC West, having previously defeated them.

Wide receiver Deebo Samuel's performance has come under scrutiny, especially after a sideline altercation with teammates. Terrell Owens criticized Samuel for not meeting his potential, suggesting he is more focused on his appearance than his play. With Brandon Aiyuk out for the season, Samuel must step up to help the 49ers' playoff aspirations.
