"That specific play won't haunt the 49ers (6-4) as much as this defeat will overall in the NFC West standings. But the 49ers' glaring incompetence at forcing turnovers is complicating life without Nick Bosa, Fred Warner, Mykel Williams, etc. Remember when the 49ers beat the Rams a month ago with the help of Alfred Collins' forced fumble at the 1-yard line? Winning the turnover battle definitely ups your chances to winning games, Green said in an exclusive interview at his locker."
"The 49ers have just one interception in their past 17 games, and that came from Deommodore Lenoir in an Oct. 26 loss at Houston. Green has just one interception in 26 career games. Everyone wants to catch the interception and go the other way, Green said. Me and the guy (Rams rookie Konata Mumpfield) went for the ball. I didn't come down with it. Play the next play."
"Stafford peppered the 49ers' skeleton crew with 36 passes (24 completions, four touchdowns). Their running backs had 27 carries. No interceptions, no fumbles, no turnovers. No chance. Anytime our backs are against the wall, it can change the whole trajectory of the game, safety Malik Mustapha said in an exclusive interview. So, when we're out there, it's on our minds. We have to capitalize on the opportunity, because we might not get that many in a game."
Renardo Green nearly intercepted a Matthew Stafford pass late in the first half but failed to hold onto the ball, preceding the 49ers' 42-26 loss to the Rams. The 49ers have recorded only one interception in their past 17 games amid absences of Nick Bosa, Fred Warner and Mykel Williams. Stafford completed 24 of 36 passes for four touchdowns while the 49ers' offense had 27 running back carries and produced no turnovers. Players emphasized the importance of forcing turnovers and capitalizing on scarce opportunities. Jauan Jennings fumbled on the 49ers' second possession.
