Willie Ellison became the second player in Los Angeles history to rush for 1,000 or more yards in a season as he carried the ball 11 times for 23 yards to finish the year with an even 1,000 yards. The Rams defense made four interceptions, which helped win the game but not the NFC Western Division as the 49ers also won to finish in first place, a half-game ahead of the Rams.
