49ers boast 1 distinct advantage vs. Rams they didn't have back in Week 5

The San Francisco 49ers seemingly had no chance of upending the Los Angeles Rams way back in Week 5 when the two NFC West rivals met on Thursday Night Football.

After all, the Niners had just suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of the Jacksonville Jaguars the week prior, one that cost them injuries to both quarterback Brock Purdy and wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, which have kept the two out of action ever since.

Yet a shorthanded San Francisco squad pulled off an overtime win, thanks largely to backup quarterback Mac Jones' prowess and chemsitry with newly added veteran wide receiver Kendrick Bourne, whose 142 yards proved to be a difference maker.
