Listed below are our observations from all through the sport.

– What a run by Deebo Samuel on his first contact of the sport. It was a fast little contact move and it regarded like he was down, however his knee by no means hit and he turned a brief achieve right into a 35-yard sprint. He’s such a key to the 49ers’ offensive success.

– Nice design by Kyle Shanahan on a display to George Kittle that became an 18-yard achieve and gave San Francisco the ball on the Rams’ 6-yard line. Garoppolo went play motion and faked like he was trying deep earlier than leaving it for Kittle who rumbled right down to the 6.

– There’s a landing. Samuel’s second contact is one other contact move from Garoppolo and he went round the fitting finish for a rating. That’s a pleasant drive to open for San Francisco. It’s a six-play, 76-yard drive. 49ers 7, Rams 0

– The Rams went after Jamar Taylor within the slot on their first play. Taylor got here up with a move breakup in opposition to Cooper Kupp.

– San Francisco pressured a punt on LA’s first collection due to good downfield protection from Jimmie Ward on a shot to Kupp. It’s clear the Rams need to get the ball to him, however the 49ers did a very good job on that first collection.

– Garoppolo’s first incompletion is slightly off track to Kittle, but it surely bounced off Kittle’s fingers. That introduced up a third-and-7 the place Garoppolo appeared to bail out of the pocket slightly early then checked right down to Jerick McKinnon for 2 yards. He must be extra affected person within the pocket. The offensive line is off to a very good begin.

– Goff hasn’t regarded good early. He had all day to throw on the Rams’ first play of their second collection and he sailed a throw to no one. That’s excellent news for San Francisco.

– One other punt after Jason Verrett flies in for a PBU. That’s a sensational play. He almost undercut it for a decide 6. The 49ers are extraordinarily fortunate he’s been wholesome and taking part in like a former first-round decide.

Story continues

– First penalty of the sport is a maintain on Daniel Brunskill. He’s accomplished a pleasant job on Aaron Donald thus far.

– One other nice design on first-and-16 after the maintain. Kittle lined up within the backfield then sprinted out to the fitting pre-snap. That led to a toss to Mostert with Kittle lead blocking. Mostert weaved his means forward for 15 on the play.

– McKinnon was known as for a fumble on maybe essentially the most weird name I’ve ever seen. He went down, after which flipped the ball away. The Rams picked it up and ran with it and the officers known as it a fumble. They reviewed it, then got here out to announce the play was going to face, however then reviewed it once more and introduced it was reversed. How bizarre.

END OF FIRST QUARTER: 49ers 7, Rams 0

– 49ers face a third-and-5 and go together with a handoff to Mostert for a pickup of three. They go for it on fourth-and-2 and Garoppolo hits Kittle for a 44-yard landing. It was a slant with Kittle one-on-one with the protection. That security missed a sort out and Kittle was gone. Nice pitch and catch. 49ers 14, Rams 0

– Fred Warner is basically good. He’s chased down a pair sweeps to cease them for brief positive factors.

The 49ers did a pleasant job of limiting large performs within the first half, however allowed one on particular groups and one on protection to begin the third quarter.

– Goff has had all day within the pocket. Need to surprise if Robert Saleh begins bringing additional stress.

– There was a pleasant sport up entrance on the line of defense from the 49ers on a third-and-5. It pressured a throwaway from Goff. There would possibly’ve been a miscommunication with him and his receiver, too, however both means the throw wasn’t a very good one partly due to the stress up entrance.

– Raheem Mostert has been dominated out with an ankle damage.

– The Rams took a shot on third-and-Three with Jaquiski Tartt and Jamar Taylor trailing Cooper Kupp. Goff simply missed the throw. That’s very fortunate for the 49ers.

END OF THIRD QUARTER: 49ers 21, Rams 9

– JaMycal Hasty is in and goes for 9 yards on his first contact.

– Effectively that’s a catastrophe. Trent Williams is down and limping off. That’s a doubtlessly big blow for San Francisco. Their OL has been superior. Justin Skule is in for him.

– Flat out drop by George Kittle on a third-and-6. He beat Jalen Ramsey in protection. The TE has to make that play.

– Holy smokes. What a punt by Mitch Wishnowsky and a very good play by Tarvarius Moore to down it contained in the 1 with out sliding into the top zone. If LA goes to get again within the sport they’ll definitely must earn it.
