How the game ran (attributed only). San Francisco trails 7–3 before rattling off 24 unanswered points (Reuters/FLM). Williams’s plunge opens the second quarter for Los Angeles. Purdy shakes a first-half interception and hits former Ram Demarcus Robinson for a 39-yard score to make it 10–7. Out of half, Samuel’s 45-yard kickoff return sets up Evans for a short TD (AP/NBC).

Momentum flips harder when Rams coach Sean McVay bypasses a short field goal and goes for it on fourth-and-goal inside the 49ers’ 1; San Francisco stuffs Matthew Stafford’s sneak with 3:41 left in the third, still up 17–7 (Reuters/FLM). Purdy then drives 99 yards in 11 plays and scrambles right to hit Samuel for a 15-yard TD and 24–7. Dre Greenlaw strips Tyler Higbee; Eddy Pineiro drills a 56-yard field goal for 27–7 (Reuters/FLM).

Christian McCaffrey posts 88 total yards; San Francisco rushes for 174 (Reuters/FLM). Rams go 2-of-9 on third down and 1-of-3 on fourth. It is only the second time in Stafford’s last 85 starts he is held under 10 points (Reuters/FLM). Marquee Rams edge Myles Garrett spends multiple second-half series on the sideline with no QB hits, sacks or tackles in the wrap. Extra invents no deeper snap charts beyond those lines.
