On a short four-game turnaround following their first loss of the season, the San Francisco 49ers got back in the win column and took over sole possession of first place in the NFC West. A banged-up roster left the Niners fielding a team of many replacements and second-stringers to play against their in-state rival, the Los Angeles Rams.
San Francisco drew first blood on Thursday night. A pair of short touchdown passes inside the red zone from backup quarterback Mac Jones put the 49ers up 14-0 deep into the second quarter and 17-7 entering halftime.
