The Los Angeles Ram came into San Francisco on Thursday night to take on the 49ers. The 49ers have failed to get a touchdown in their first two games. Both teams are coming off tough losses, who will rebound going into a short week? Let get to it! The 49ers would start with the ball and Brian Hoyer's first pass would be picked off by Nickel Roby-Coleman and returned to the San Francisco 3 and Todd Gurley would score from three yards out on the next play. The PAT would give the Rams an early 7-0 lead. Carlos Hyde would go 20 yards on second and 8. It looked like the 49ers were going to punt but on 4th and 2, the Rams were called offsides and it was enough for a first down. On third and 4, Hoyer went Breida for a 12 yard reception. The Niners faced a third and 1 and Hyde went for four. They faced another third down and Brian Hoyer would keep the ball and would go in for a touchdown. The PAT would tie the game at 7. They would face a third and 7 but a holding penalty on the Niners would give them an automatic first down. On second and 6, Jared Goff would find Robert Woods for 31 yards. Goff would find Carrier on the next play for 17. They faced another third down and Goff would find Gurley for a seven yard touchdown. The PAT would make it 14-7. Breida would go for 10 yards on second and 10, then on the next play, Hoyer would go to Pierre Garcon for 30. The Niners would end the drive on a fumble that was recovered by Robey-Coleman. Gurley would start with a 10 yard gain. On second and five, Goff would find Woods for 21 yards. The quarter would come to an end with the Rams up 14-7. Greg Zuerlein went for a 48 yard field goal attempt and he would make it to lead 17-7. The Niners would face a third and 8 on their next drive but the Rams would get called for an offsides and on third and 3, Hoyer found Trent Taylor for 18. The Niners would be forced to punt but the Rams muffed a punt and the Niners would recover with great field position. The Niners were only able to get a 36 yard field goal by Robbie Gould to make 17-10. The Niners would force a Rams three and out, the first of the game on either side. On the first play of the Niners drive, Hoyer would go to Juszczyk for 34 and get into Rams territory. They would face a third and 18 and Hoyer would find Garcon for 18. They would settle for a 48 yard field goal by Robbie Gould to make it 17-13. Goff would find Watkins for eight on second and 6. Goff would go to Sammy Watkins for 22 as we head to the two-minute warning. They would face a third and 3 and Goff would find Cooper Kupp for 18. On the next play, Goff would find Woods for a first and goal and then they called the Niners for an unnecessary roughness. Todd Gurley would go into the end zone for the third time of the half and the PAT would make it 24-13 with 49 seconds remaining in the second quarter. The Niners would go three and out and we head to halftime with the Rams leading 24-13. The Rams started with the ball in the second half and they drove all the way down the field and ended up kicking a field goal to make it 27-13, highlighted by a 47 yard catch by Sammy Watkins. The Niners would drive down the field to make it first and goal and would result in a touchdown run by Carlos Hyde on fourth down. The PAT would make it 27-20 Rams. The Rams would drive down the field on their next possession and would result in a one yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff to Sammy Watkins. The PAT would make it 34-20 with 17 seconds remaining in the third quarter. On the last play of the third quarter, Hoyer would find Goodwin for 50 yards and the Rams would lead 34-20 going to the fourth quarter. The Niners would get a touchdown from Hoyer to Garrett Celek for a one yard touchdown. The PAT was missed and it would be 34-26 with 12 minutes to play. The Rams would drive down the field once again, resulting in Sammy Watkins' second touchdown of the game. The PAT would make it 41-26 with 8:43 remaining in the game. The 49ers would be forced to punt on their next possession. The Rams went three and out on the next series and would punt. The 49ers would score quickly on their next possession, ended by a Trent Taylor touchdown catch from Brian Hoyer. The PAT would make it 41-33 with 5:08 remaining. The Rams would fumble the football and the 49ers would recover. Carlos Hyde would go in for the touchdown on fourth down and they go for two for the tie. The two-point conversion attempt would be intercepted and would be no good. The 49ers would attempt an onside kick and would get the ball. They would face a third and 10 and it looked like a completion to Celek for a 11 yard gain but the Niners would be called for offensive pass interference. It would be third and 20 and the pass would fall incomplete and they would go for it on fourth down. Aaron Donald would sack Hoyer on fourth down and the Rams would get the ball with 1:40 remaining in the game. Gurley would get a first down on third down to seal the game as the Rams took down the Niners 41-39.
Thoughts on the game: Just a wild game overall. The Rams on offense looked great but special teams almost doomed them when they fumbled in the fourth quarter and they failed to recover the onside kick. The biggest special teams mistake was Robbie Gould's miss of an extra point which could have tied the game. The Niners broke out of their scoring slump in a big way tonight, scoring 39 points.
