On short rest, the Los Angeles Rams won’t have much time to correct their run-defense, which allowed more than 200 yards against the Washington Redskins. While the 0-2 San Francisco 49ers look like a favorable matchup for the Rams, sleeping on the running game could lead to the 49ers first win of the season.
Should that happen, the praise for the upset win will be aimed at RB Carlos Hyde.
Through two games, Hyde has 220 yards from scrimmage, which accounts for 47 percent of San Francisco’s offensive output.
