The San Francisco 49ers’ 30-23 win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2 on Sunday proved that divisional games are never easy. After cruising to an easy victory in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Rams provided a true test for the 49ers.
Through two quarters, Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford dueled with Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purdy. Stafford showed rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua was worthy of the hype as the Rams went into halftime with a tie ballgame at 17 against the heavily favored 49ers.
Yet, with some halftime adjustments and clutch plays on defense, the 49ers were able to take control down the stretch against the Rams on the way to a 30-23 victory in Hollywood.
Before the 2-0 49ers start preparing for the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football, here’s a look at some studs and duds from San Francisco’s performance on Sunday afternoon against the Rams.
