San Francisco got on the board first, capitalizing on a Los Angeles turnover to take over possession with good field position.
On the Rams’ opening possession, quarterback Jared Goff threw an interception to cornerback Tramaine Brock on a pass intended for wideout Kenny Britt. Brock returned the pick 39 yards to the Los Angeles 17, and two plays later quarterback Colin Kaepernick hit running back Carlos Hyde over the middle for a 19-yard touchdown.
But L.A. responded well with 14 quick points to take the lead. Wide receiver Pharoh Cooper took the ensuing kickoff 51 yards to the Los Angeles 48.
