Most games with a QB rating over 100 in first 25 career starts, NFL history: 1. Patrick Mahomes: 18 2. Brock Purdy: 16 2. Kurt Warner: 16 The 49ers have a star at the most important position -- the hardest one to find a star at. They cannot continue letting that go to waste

Game News
Jauan Jennings is playing out of his mind today. Holy smokes. What a catch. pic.x.com/wmge8bagec
I guess Brock Purdy doesn't need Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle or Brandon Aiyuk.
The 49ers are paying a billion dollars for wide receivers and with the game on the line Kyle Shanahan calls a pass for freaking Ronnie Bell. GTFO.
DE Nick Bosa and CB Charvarius Ward both are active today vs. the Rams.
49ers DE Nick Bosa, listed as questionable for today's game due to a rib injury, is expected to play vs. the Rams, per source. pic.x.com/9yoszw2wwz
Jacob Cowing would have caught the deep pass that Ronnie Bell dropped.
Two special teams gaffes have kept the door open for the Rams: Fake punt and Jake Moody's first miss of the year
That's Fred Warner yelling as he busts out of the locker room pic.x.com/mgb3bqtccx
Could've been another cramp for Trent Williams and that's the obvious hope. His tongue was cramping Week 1. He's another guy playing himself into shape
Isaac Yiadom is a liability. Renardo Green is better than him.
De'Vondre Campbell is back in with Dee Winters shaken up. So yes, it looks like the 49ers were naturally trying to work Winters into the rotation
A big return for Talanoa Hufanga is here. One of the signature plays of his career -- a pick six off Matt Stafford -- came against the Rams: pic.x.com/ng81z7igiu
Talanoa Hufanga also exited the game as part of his snap count management before that Rams' TD -- Malik Mustapha entered. So LA scored while the 49ers were down two starting DBs, Ward and Hufanga
Practice squad call-up Sam Okuayinonu notches a huge sack for the 49ers
Figured this would be a big game for Javon Hargrave. He's working against Logan Bruss, who's making his first career start for the Rams
Charvarius Ward is active for the 49ers against the Rams. Here are SF's inactives: Darrell Luter Jr. Tatum Bethune Deebo Samuel Sr. George Kittle Ben Bartch Josh Dobbs is the third QB
Isaac Guerendo seeing his first extended action. 49ers even split him out wide
George Kittle is more essential to the 49ers run game than Christian McCaffrey is.
Originally ruled a fumble but quickly corrected. Regardless, excellent play by #49ers CB Deommodore Lenoir setting the edge, taking on a blocker and forcing Williams to bounce it. It's a 3-yard loss.
Look for Kyle Juszczyk to have a big game today.
Outside zone runs won't be nearly as effective without George Kittle at the point of attack so you're seeing Kyle Shanahan call more gap-scheme runs.
#49ers starting offense: QB Brock Purdy RB Jordan Mason FB Kyle Juszczyk WR Brandon Aiyuk WR Jauan Jennings TE Eric Saubert LT Trent Williams LG Aaron Banks C Jake Brendel RG Dominick Puni RT Colton McKivitz
There are numerous player prop bet markets on Jordan Mason for the 4:25 PM ET game Sunday, which airs live on FOX. NFC West rivals square off in Week 3 when Mason and the San Francisco 49ers (1-1) meet the Los Angeles Rams (0-2) at SoFi Stadium.

Colton McKivitz might win a best-dressed award for his Week 3 pregame fit against the Los Angeles Rams. On arrival at SoFi stadium, the San Francisco 49ers starting right tackle was caught representing quarterback Brock Purdy with a must-see T-shirt.
On McKivitz’s shirt, there’s a picture of Purdy posing as a model.
A t-shirt worth a thousand words @CMcKivitz x @LEVIS pic.twitter.com/fGU86JjyUO
— San Francisco 49ers (@49ers) September 22, 2024
McKivitz will now be in charge of slowing down the Rams pass rush and keeping Purdy clean on Sunday. McKivitz and the 49ers’ offensive line are coming off a Week 2 loss where they allowed six sacks to the Minnesota Vikings. McKivitz will likely line up against Rams’ first-round pick Jared Verse
Kyren Williams catch-and-run touchdown, which he punctuates by front flipping over a defender. Flair!!
The Rams' win probability was as low as 3.2% with 4:14 remaining in the fourth quarter in their comeback win over the 49ers. Matthew Stafford led the Rams on two scoring drives in the final three minutes, with both drives leading to points in under a minute. #SFvsLA | @RamsNFL pic.x.com/km3xvcnqie
Blake Corum played 0 snaps again today. His only 8 snaps of the season were 8 garbage time carries in Week 2.
Xavier Smith always seems to step up when his number is called.
@JourdanRodrigue: Special teams forces suddenly swing toward chaotic good
Oh hell yeah Ronnie Rivers fake punt
@JourdanRodrigue: Really, really stellar job by Ronnie Rivers picking up the pressure on that ball to Tutu Atwell.
Incredible comeback by the Rams. Gutcheck, 0-3 right there, first lead comes with 2 seconds left. No Cooper Kupp or Puka Nacua. Crazy.
Kyren Williams scores again, this time bear-hugging Jordan Whittington who was the motion blocker for the run. Rams short-handed offense is scrapping...
You were wrong about Jimmy Garoppolo. Let it go.
@LombardiHimself: @TheMMQBL He was playing with a torn thumb, torn shoulder, bad ankle and behind a left tackle on a high ankle sprain 3 weeks later. Also was coming off a game in subzero weather in Green Bay which is tough on body recovery. And a Tartt INT probably still beats LA, maybe in regulation
The Rams are in huge trouble with rookie Beaux Limmer at center and first-time starter Logan Bruss at LG. There's a reason their pass-block grade coming in was 29.4 (!!!). LA running more to try to offset the issue but the 49ers already lead by 14
No freaking way--Tutu Atwell with a dime down the field, and DeMarcus Robinson came down with a WILD catch. We'll see if it stands.
Rams players who caught a pass in today's win over the defending NFC champs: Demarcus Robinson Tyler Johnson Jordan Whittington Tutu Atwell Colby Parkinson Kyren Williams
Rams inactives: Cooper Kupp, Stetson Bennett, Cody Schrader, Brennan Jackson, Geron Christian Sr., Davis Allen. Jimmy G back in the backup spot at QB after his two-game suspension.
Rams trainers trying to get Bruss off the field without stoppage, he looks like he got banged-up a little. Justin Dedich is in, and he's the fourth guy to play LG for this group in three weeks.
Signs of life for the Rams defense. Byron Young strip-sacks Purdy and rookie Braden Fiske recovers it.
Joshua Karty's kick is good. Rams 27, 49ers 24 with two seconds to go.
The banged-up Los Angeles Rams will host a similarly injured San Francisco 49ers team Sunday at SoFi Stadium, the first of two meetings between these bitter rivals. The Rams look very different now than they did at the start of the season due to injuries suffered by Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, as well as offensive linemen Steve Avila and Jonah Jackson, so winning this game will be a challenge.
With the Rams’ banged-up offense comes opportunities to bet on players such as Jordan Whittington, Tutu Atwell and Demarcus Robinson, all of whom offer good value in certain markets.
