Matthew Stafford threw four touchdown passes without an interception for the third consecutive week, an NFL record, and the Los Angeles Rams put the game away before halftime on the way to a 42-26 win over the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium. The 49ers played their sixth straight game without Brock Purdy, ran out their worst defensive unit of the season, and fell 1.5 games behind first place in the NFC West by the time it was over.
George Kittle 13 Yd pass from Jones (2-pt conversion failed) — 7 plays, 65 yds, 2:11

The Rams scored on their first three possessions for the first time in five years and led 21-0 before the 49ers got on the board. A Jauan Jennings fumble in Rams territory and a failed fourth-and-goal stop by Byron Young on Christian McCaffrey both came while San Francisco had a chance to cut into the lead in the second quarter. The two-point attempt on Kittle’s late fourth-quarter touchdown failed when Mac Jones’ pass to Jennings was picked off by Emmanuel Forbes Jr.
