"PASS OFFENSE: B Mac Jones' three touchdown strikes obviously weren't enough to offset the four-pack from his counterpart, Matthew Stafford. Jones was not sacked, and he connected on 33-of-39 passes for the second-best completion percentage (84.7) in 60 career starts (5-3 with 49ers). Jauan Jennings fumbled away a second-series catch near the red zone, but Jennings, Luke Farrell and finally George Kittle each made touchdown catches. A fourth-quarter interception extinguished the comeback bid."
"PASS DEFENSE: F Matthew Stafford bolstered his MVP candidacy by shredding the 49ers for four touchdown passes and 280 yards. Kalia Davis and Keion White split the 49ers' lone sack, and Bryce Huff had three quarterback hits in his return from a two-game hiatus. But there were no interceptions or forced fumbles from a unit that needs takeaways to compensate for its loss of key players. Renardo Green nearly had an interception as Stafford targeted him early, and Stafford coveted matchups against linebacker Luke Gifford."
The 49ers fell 42-26 to the Los Angeles Rams. Mac Jones completed 33-of-39 passes (84.7%) with three touchdown throws and was not sacked. Jauan Jennings fumbled near the red zone, while Jennings, Luke Farrell and George Kittle caught touchdown passes. The running game produced 74 yards on 21 carries; Christian McCaffrey had 30 yards on 12 carries and Brian Robinson gained 41 yards on eight carries. The pass defense allowed four touchdown passes and 280 yards from Matthew Stafford and recorded no turnovers. The run defense allowed two rushing touchdowns, and special teams suffered a blocked extra point.
