In a game that nobody expected to be as exciting as it turned out to be, the Los Angeles Rams held on to a thrilling 41-39 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night to improve to 2-1 on the season. And while there were numerous key factors to takeaway from the game, the development of Jared Goff at quarterback may have stood out the most.
While the defense clearly has plenty of issues to figure out over the next week or so before the team’s next game against the Dallas Cowboys, the Rams could not have asked for a better performance against the 49ers in front of a national spotlight (even if the stadium seemed empty).
