A day early, to be exact. This game was all about Kaepernick, really, and the one-time phenom came through in the clutch to help the 49ers win the game in spectacular fashion. The problem is that Kaepernick gashed the Rams’ pass defense for 266 yards and two TDs. Streater finished with 6 catches for 63 yards receiving and 1 touchdown. He also added six carries for 15 yards and the aforementioned score with his legs.

“If I had seen him, I probably would have gone out of bounds”, Goff said.
As much as he has talked about changing things up and trying to get more imaginative with the play calling, Boras continues to be extremely conservative with the play calling. He also had two costly interceptions, one which led San Francisco’s first touchdown and another in the closing seconds that ended the team’s hopes of getting into position for a winning field goal.
” I think (RB) Carlos Hyde, if you guys want to look at an example about tough times, look how tough he has run all year long. Wherever they ask me to go, I’m going to go”. Los Angeles has the NFL’s worst offense, scoring a league-low 197 points and failing to crack 11 points in more than half of its games.
The Rams were outgained 323 yards to 177 and trailed 21-13 in first downs and 31:03-28:57 in time of possession.
“It was a designed rollout”, Kelly explained. All Kaepernick had to do was win a foot race and dive into the end zone.
“I’ll say this to all the fans and everybody that came out today, we’re appreciative and understand where we are”, Goff said, via the team’s website.
Until they, we’ll all wait with baited breath. “They gave everything they had”.
While the Rams have undeniable talent on defense and special teams, their inept offense has dragged the rest of this team to the depths of 10 losses in its last 11 games.
Veteran offensive lineman Rodger Saffold moved from guard to start at left tackle, while second-year linemen Jamon Brown and Andrew Donnal started at left and right guard, respectively.
Said 49ers cornerback Rashard Robinson, “I think the whole team wanted that”. While the Dodgers and the Giants have one of the top rivalries in baseball, a new rivalry is brewing in the NFL. On the next snap, quarterback Jared Goff handed the ball off to Tavon Austin, who ran 30 yards down the sideline for his first rushing touchdown of the season.
The Niners (1-13) are on a 13-game losing streak.
Kelly applauded his team’s effort on Sunday. For those clamoring for Williams to keep his job, may this game and the Miami game be a nice reminder that maybe this “defensive minded” team isn’t all that good on either side of the ball. Every day in practice, I need to be better, and every day on Sundays I need to be better. “There’s an energy and a spirit to them”.

“Hopefully it’s something we can restore moving into next season”.
