** St. Louis improved to 5-6 on the season with its 42-21 Week 12 home win over the Bears. St. Louis has now won its last two contests by a total score of 80-39.
** San Francisco improved to 7-4 in 2013 with its 27-6 Week 12 road victory over the Washington Redskins. The 49ers held Washington to just 190 total yards; it was the second time they've held an opponent below 200 total yards this season, the other time coming against the Rams in Week 4 (188 total yds).
** The 49ers beat the Rams 35-11 in St. Louis back in Week 4, as Frank Gore ran for 153 yards and a touchdown while Colin Kaepernick threw for two TDs. In last year's meeting in San Francisco, the teams played to a 24-24 tie, David Akers tying the game on a 33-yard field goal with three seconds remaining in regulation.
** Benny Cunningham came off the bench for the Rams to run for a career-high 109 yards and a touchdown in the Week 12 victory over the Bears. Rams' regular starting RB Zac Stacy had 87 rush yards and a TD before being knocked out of the contest with a possible concussion just before halftime. Stacy's status for the Week 13 game against the 49ers is unknown.
** Michael Crabtree is expected to make his season debut for the 49ers on Sunday. The wide receiver, who has been sidelined by an Achilles injury, led the team in receptions (85), receiving yards (1105) and receiving touchdowns (9) in 2012.
** Colin Kaepernick threw for 235 yards and three touchdowns in the Week 12 win over Washington. It was just the third time all season that Kaepernick has thrown for 200+ yards in a game, and the first time since he had 252 passing yards in a Week 6 win over the Cardinals.
