Stafford's Stellar Streak: Rams Dominate 49ers in NFC West Showdown
Stafford's Record-Breaking Streak Continues
Matthew Stafford is on fire! He just made NFL history with his third straight game throwing four touchdowns and no interceptions. The Rams beat the 49ers 42-26, making it four wins in a row. Stafford is leading the league with 25 touchdown passes this season. He's been unstoppable lately, throwing 20 touchdowns without any interceptions in the last six games.
A Total Team Effort
The Rams scored on six of their first eight drives. Stafford connected with:
- Davante Adams
- Puka Nacua
- Davis Allen
- Colby Parkinson
Kyren Williams rushed for two touchdowns. It was a total team effort.
49ers Struggle Without Key Players
The 49ers are missing key players like:
- Nick Bosa
- Fred Warner
- Mykel Williams
Their defense just couldn't stop Stafford and the Rams. Coach Kyle Shanahan knew it would be tough. The 49ers had chances but fumbled and failed on a fourth-down attempt in the red zone.
Mac Jones Shines, But Not Enough
Mac Jones played well for the 49ers, throwing for 319 yards and three touchdowns. But it wasn't enough against Stafford's record-breaking performance. The Rams are now tied for first in the NFC West with Seattle.
Injury Concerns for Both Teams
- Adams left the game with an oblique injury, but hopes to play next week.
- For the 49ers, Brock Purdy is still out with a toe injury but might return soon.
Next Up
- The Rams host Seattle.
- The 49ers travel to Arizona.
Both teams have big games ahead.
