Everything you need to know about 49ers' 2022 schedule originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea
A year ago, the 49ers’ season came down to a dramatic Week 18 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
Facing a scenario in which a loss would have eliminated them from the postseason, the 49ers rallied from a 17-0 deficit to pull off an overtime victory to punch their ticket to the playoffs.

Of course, the Rams avenged that loss with a victory over the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game en route to a Super Bowl title.
The NFL released the regular-season schedule on Thursday, and one of the more striking elements is that the 49ers-Rams series will be completed before the calendar flips to November.
The 49ers face the Rams in Week 4 at Levi’s Stadium in an Oct. 3 matchup on "Monday Night Football." The return game is Week 8 on Sunday, Oct. 30, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood.
