The 49ers will boast the largest margin of victory in Week 1 after dismantling the Los Angeles Rams in a 28-0 victory Monday night. Here's what we learned:
1. The Rams fancy themselves a smashmouth, ball-control outfit featuring the NFL's dominant defensive front seven. While Jeff Fisher's squad failed to upgrade the roster during the offseason, the improved offensive and defensive lines in San Francisco turned the tables, bullying Los Angeles in the trenches. By halftime, 49ers quarterback Blaine Gabbert had scrambled for more yards (41) than Rams offensive focal point Todd Gurley (28) totaled on the ground.
