Behind Gurley's Rushing, Stout Defense, Rams Beat 49ers 27-6

ST. LOUIS — Don't look now but the St. Louis Rams have found a winning combination.

Behind the rushing of rookie Todd Gurley and a smothering defense, the Rams own a winning record in November for the first time since 2006 after handling the struggling San Francisco 49ers 27-6 Sunday.

"It's a nice change," middle linebacker James Laurinaitis said. "This is what we expected. Quite frankly, we expected it last year but more so this year."

St. Louis (4-3) hasn't finished with a winning record since 2003.

Gurley rushed for 133 yards on 20 carries, topping 125 yards for the fourth straight start.
