Quarterback Nick Foles completed 14 of 23 passes for 191 yards as the Rams improved to 4-3, marking the first time since 2006 they have been over.
With apologies to Tavon Austin and Todd Gurley, the Rams offense as a unit was and has been painful to watch. 500 this late in a season since October 29, 2006.
The 49ers (2-6) were hit hard by injuries, losing Reggie Bush early, and haven’t scored a touchdown in two games. Gurley did all the rest, simply out running the San Francisco secondary on his way to the end zone. Foles was 14-for-23 for 191 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions.
If this does not happen, and Hayne “clears” waivers, he can potentially be returned to the 49ers practice squad, to continue building his career with the team.

Bush was returning a punt when he couldn’t collect himself before the surface changed, slipping and falling on his backside before grabbing his knee.
