The Los Angeles Rams moved into early pole position in the NFC West with a brilliant offensive display in a 41-39 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
The Rams held a 41-26 lead in the fourth quarter and survived two late San Francisco touchdowns thanks to a failed two-point conversion and fourth-down sack after the 49ers recovered an onside kick.
Los Angeles is 2-1 after the intra-divisional battle thanks largely to the trio of offensive stars in quarterback Jared Goff, running back Todd Gurley and wide receiver Sammy Watkins.
