"In any other matchup, it would have been the makings of a rout. A walkover. A convincing answer to an earlier defeat. But this is the Rams and the San Francisco 49ers. More specifically, Rams coach Sean McVay and 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan. Close games are the rule, not the exception. So the Rams' three-touchdown lead early in the second quarter on Sunday at Levi's Stadium was nothing to get comfortable about."
"Nacua returned from a rib injury that sidelined him for part of the Rams victory over the New Orleans Saints and caught five passes for 64 yards. Adams, who grew up not far from the stadium in East Palo Alto, suffered a back injury in the second half and did not return. But the three-time All-Pro caught six passes for 77 yards and continued his outstanding play in the red zone with his sixth touchdown in the last three games."
The Rams overcame a tense start and beat the 49ers 42-26, stretching their win streak to four games and improving to 7-2 overall and 1-1 in the NFC West. Matthew Stafford threw four touchdown passes, completing 24 of 36 for 280 yards, and leads the league with 25 touchdown passes and only two interceptions. Kyren Williams rushed for two touchdowns. Emmanuel Forbes Jr. recorded a second straight game with an interception, and Nate Landman forced a fumble. Puka Nacua returned from a rib injury; Davante Adams left with a back injury after six catches for 77 yards.
