With the ink still drying on his four-year, $42 million contract signed back in August, Tavon Austin and the Los Angeles Rams made their way to Santa Clara to face off against the San Francisco 49ers for a Week 1 opener on Monday Night. Having signed a deal that awards him more guaranteed money than the likes of top pass catchers like Alshon Jeffery, Doug Baldwin, and T.Y. Hilton, there was certainly a reason to have high expectations for Austin to produce against the 49ers.
With their eyes set north and their heart set on victory, Austin, and the rest of the Rams had about a rough as a night as can be in the NFL.
