The San Francisco 49ers won a hard-fought game against the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday night; much more hard-fought than the Week 6 matchup between the two teams.

Fred Warner was a key contributor in the 34-31 victory and made a memorable play right before halftime to give the 49ers their first lead of the game. The second-year linebacker intercepted Rams quarterback Jared Goff and returned the football for 46 yards and a touchdown.

The team has dealt with injuries. Still, nothing intimidates Warner and the 49ers, who remain confident no matter the opponent.

"All season, I feel like we've been playing with that violence, with that effort, making sure that we're technical in how we play the game," Warner told the NFL Network crew after the game. "It doesn't matter who's on the field, we're going to have the utmost confidence in our ability when we touch the field."


In addition to eliminating the Rams from playoff contention, the game sets up a crucial NFC West title showdown with the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field next week. Warner does not sound intimidated by that matchup or what is at stake in that Week 17 game.

"I think it's safe to say when these coaches took over, this is exactly the moment that they dreamed of," Warner said. "This couldn't be a better position than we've been put in, and all we got to do is go get it now. It's all on us.

"Like you said, we've got eight days to get ready. It's going to be a hostile environment. I can't wait. I can't wait to get going."
