"So how will the 49ers have a fighting chance Thursday night in visiting the Rams and their Super Bowl-winning quarterback (Matthew Stafford), the NFL's leading wide receiver (Puka Nacua), and Oscar-worthy supporting actors (Davante Adams, Kyren Williams)? Bring them on, so say the Niners' young defenders who hope Stafford's barrage of passes will end their drought of 11 consecutive games without an interception."
"He's going to find ways to pick me out and I'm going to have to counter that, rookie safety Marques Sigle said. He's a skilled quarterback and I'm going to be a skilled DB. I can't become great taking the easy way, rookie nickel back Upton Stout said, so, shoot, throw me all the challenges right now, so at the end of it, I can come out and get a (Hall of Fame) gold jacket."
Robert Saleh apologized for a sign-stealing comment after a heated exchange with Jacksonville coach Liam Coen following a 26-21 loss. The 49ers' defense produced no interceptions, fumble recoveries, sacks, or quarterback hits, and remained without Nick Bosa after season-ending knee surgery. The team faces the Rams' potent passing attack led by Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, and Kyren Williams. Young defensive backs Marques Sigle and Upton Stout welcomed the challenge and expressed confidence in countering Stafford's accuracy. Stout had a nullified interception in the previous game and drew public support from Richard Sherman.
