After grabbing a share of the NFC West lead this Sunday past, the Los Angeles Rams look to separate from one of the co-leaders in a Thursday Night Football matchup. On October 2, L.A. welcomes the San Francisco 49ers into SoFi Stadium for the mid-week tilt. Kickoff is set for 5:15 p.m. PST.
It’s three-team logjam at 3-1 atop the West between the Rams, 49ers, and Seattle Seahawks. L.A. got their share with a come-from-behind 27-20 victory over the previously unbeaten Indianapolis Colts. The ’Niners lost their Sunday game and sole possession of first place in the division, falling at home to the Jacksonville Jaguars 26-21.
Mystery best describes the 49ers defense. According to Pro Football Reference, they rank well in scoring allowed (7th, 18.8), total yards allowed (5th, 1122), third down
