As the St. Louis Rams and San Francisco 49ers get set to square off at the Edward Jones Dome on Sunday, a lot of attention is being paid to the 24-24 tie the two teams played to three weeks ago in San Francisco.
The first match-up between the division rivals was a classic and was so close mainly because of the play of the two running backs.
Rams running back Steven Jackson and 49ers running back Frank Gore have been with their respective teams for years and Sunday may be the last time fans get to see the two clash in their respective uniforms.
Jackson has played nine seasons and has rushed for 9,817 yards and 54 touchdowns and has averaged 4.2 yards per carry throughout his career. Jackson has also made 385 career reception, scoring eight more times through the air.
Meanwhile, Gore has played eight seasons and has rushed for 8,539 yards and 48 touchdowns and has averaged 4.7 yards per carry during his time in the NFL. Gore has 310 career receptions and scored 10 touchdowns thr...

Rams edge 49ers 16-13 in overtime

Now if you have listened to my show at all in the last two weeks on the BTR Network (http://www.blogtalkradio.com/letstalknfl), you know exactly where I am about to go.
